Our Staff

Information and Referral Specialists connect people to the community resources they need. Our job is to listen, identify needs and make appropriate referrals. Information and Referral Specialists combine skillful questioning and attentive listening with support and guidance in a process that gives individuals a sense of control and empowerment over their situation. We provide information, resources and options.

Additionally, we each coordinate a project designed to meet our professional growth and direction.
