📣National Core Indicators (NCI) Family Survey Informational Session📣
We invite you to attend one of our upcoming informational sessions to learn more about the National Core Indicators (NCI) Family Survey tomorrow and Friday!
We are heartbroken to share our beloved friend Lisa Utsey passed away peacefully at her home after a private battle with cancer.
Lisa was an amazing self-advocate and leader, serving as the Secretary of Valley Mountain Regional Center's Board of Directors and a longtime leader of SAC6 and Valley CAPS. Lisa was a passionate, kind, and giving person whose tireless advocacy and aloha will be greatly missed. She made a difference in the lives of so many people with developmental disabilities and anyone lucky enough to work alongside knew the joy and energy she shared with everyone she met.
VMRC will always appreciate Lisa's dedication and service on our Board and throughout the community. May she rest peacefully knowing she was loved and will always be remembered.
Aloha oe Lisa, until we meet again.🌸🌈💜
