Dear Friends,
I’m so excited to greet you as Doorways’ Executive Director. I joined Doorways in 2003, and that is about the time that Doorways “joined 
me”. My passion and compassion for the women and families we serve grows each day, and I remain inspired by the staff, volunteers, community supporters and most of all, our clients. I have devoted my 20-year and counting career to family homelessness, domestic violence and child welfare and can’t imagine a better place to put my experience to work than at Doorways.
While it humbles and saddens me to see parents and children entering our programs in such crisis, witnessing their transformation to a place of hope and self-belief fulfills me beyond words. I am so proud to live in a community like Arlington where we have a caring, responsive resource for women and families to turn to when they need it. The wrap around, intensive services provided here at Doorways are the “game changer” for so many adults and children. With these services, people rebuild. They get the opportunities to learn and practice life skills that many of us take for granted. Things like opening a bank account, managing our own finances, parenting our children without fear, experiencing joy as a family, and believing in oneself. (more…)
