This week, we would like to shout out our CEO, Jackie! Jackie has been with RAMP for 28 years, leading in several capacities before taking her role as the CEO in 2021. She works hard to ensure RAMP's bright future, oversees leadership, and much more - thank you for all you do Jackie!

Image description: As CEO of RAMP Disability Resources and Services, I have the privilege of leading an organization dedicated to ensuring people with disabilities can live independently and with dignity. My role is to set the vision for our future, secure the resources to sustain and grow our work, build strong community partnerships, and support an incredible team that removes barriers and expands access throughout our community. I work closely with our Board of Directors and leadership team to develop innovative, impactful programs, pursue new funding opportunities, and foster a workplace where staff feel engaged, supported, and empowered to grow. I’m grateful to have served as an advocate and leader for the past 28 years. One of my greatest hopes is to show new staff entering the field that RAMP isn’t just a job - it can be a meaningful, long-term career. I am deeply thankful for the mentors and leaders who have guided me along the way, and I value every team member who has supported, challenged, and helped shape me into the leader I am today. One of the greatest benefits of working at RAMP is the trust and flexibility to get things done in a way that aligns with my leadership style. Just as important, RAMP allows me the flexibility to fully embrace me role as a mother, grandmother, and wife. The value of true work-life balance is immeasurable - and its something I don’t take for granted.
