The family atmosphere of our staff and the wonderful families we serve make up ten-fold any decrease in pay from switching to the non-profit sector. I absolutely love it here, and am proud to show it off. Although this is the first office I've had in 15 years without a window, I instead get to hear giggles, sweet voices, and success stories from our kids.
This is a link to our website, if interested. My picture is on the leadership page. www.cdservices.org
One of the kids loves to visit my office and look at my airplane poster (showing a view from the cockpit). On each visit, this child gets to point to a different button where I tell him what that button/lever does. He loves airplanes, and it's sweet be a part of his inspiration to achieve his full potential.
Here is a link to a video explaining who we are and what we do....enjoy!
