I happily serve on the Northwest Center’s Board because I have first-hand experience with Northwest Center’s transformative mission. My daughter was born with a rare genetic disorder, and Northwest Center helped my family navigate scary and unfamiliar systems in those difficult early years.

From early intervention services to modeling an inclusive childcare center—and helping us see future opportunities for employment and independence—Northwest Center enables people to thrive at every stage of life. I serve on the board to give back to an organization that did so much for my family, and to help ensure its vital services continue to grow throughout our community and beyond.
