We take folks as young as 16 in our various programs, and they can stay with us through retirement and beyond. What prompted you to get into this line of work? So I had a management consulting practice for many years, served clients in both New Jersey and New York City, and this agency was one of my clients. We used to do strategic planning.

We had to do a lot of training for their staff, help them with the marketing. And we had other nonprofits throughout New Jersey and New York that we worked with.

The longevity of people working here was really impressive.

You had young people working here. from their graduation from college right through to getting ready to retire. So it was really impressive how much blood, sweat, and tears the staff really put into caring for and supporting the individuals that they serve.

They were friendly, they were engaging, they were engaging with each other. They had such an extraordinary camaraderie. It was just an overall very impressive place. And I just, you know how when you walk in the door someplace, you're like, yeah, you know what, I'm not leaving. It's just something, there's going to be this connection here.

And for a while, I served on the board for about a hot minute. And then my daughter took ill, so I had to... I couldn't really make a commitment, a volunteer commitment like that. But always stayed in touch, always served them as a client.

And then when I got word that the current president and CEO was going to retire, that's when we started the conversations about how I might fit in to the future of this place. So it has been an incredible, great adventure. And I love the mission, the vision, the people. Couldn't ask for a better place to be.
