Our Team


Access to Independence stays busy developing programs, trainings, and events to better serve our consumers and educate the community, and its staff is often involved in community projects and initiatives. Given the thousands of people we serve in the community and how far our influence reaches, you may be surprised to know that Access to Independence is in fact operated by a small, but passionate and dedicated staff. We believe that committed individuals with a common vision can accomplish great things, and here you can meet those committed individuals who make up our management team.
