Meet Jerry Maygarden, a proud Pensacola native and valued member of the LifeView Group Board of Directors. With decades of leadership—as Mayor of Pensacola, a Florida state legislator, Navy veteran, and community champion—Jerry brings unmatched passion to our mission of helping people. His connection to our organization dates back to the 1990s, when he first saw the compassion behind our work. “People would be shocked by the impact LifeView Group has on our community,” he says. Last year, our nonprofit family served:
• 29,000+ people through behavioral health care
• 2,700+ children through FamiliesFirst Network
• 1,000 people with disabilities through meaningful employment

More than 180 leaders came together for our annual Leadership Conference from across the LifeView Group nonprofit family of companies—representing 14 states and Washington, D.C. This is a time of fellowship, connection and professional development.

Our 2026 conference featured inspiration from Jon Fay, retired U.S. Navy officer and former Executive Officer of the Blue Angels. Our CEO Allison Hill celebrated last year's accomplishments and spoke to our vision for the future. We then engaged in a meaningful session on building a "Just Culture."

This inspiring team leads with dedication, compassion and commitment to the people and communities we serve. Thank you for helping shape the future of LifeView Group.

Here’s to another year of learning, growing and leading—together. 💙
