Board of Directors
The Iowa CareGivers and its Resource and Outreach Center are governed by a volunteer board of directors with the expertise to ensure accountability and sustainability of the organization.
I am proud and excited to serve as the new Chair of the Iowa CareGivers Board of Directors. It’s 2013, and we have some extraordinary challenges ahead, but I am lucky to follow wonderful leaders such as Betty Grandquist, her board and our Iowa CareGivers Direct Care Professional Leadership Council. They, along with our incredible staff and all who have served the organization over the last 20 years have put us in a position to turn challenges into opportunities.
I am confident that the staff, board, council, consultants, and volunteers have the drive and the skills to work hand in hand to advance the quality of care and support for individuals with disabilities and older Iowans by providing education, recognition, advocacy and research in support of those who work in direct care. Together, let’s move our 2013 Public Policy Agenda, programs, services, and the caregiving profession forward!
