A Message from Parents’ Place Board of Directors / Mensage de la mesa directiva

Announcement of New Parents' Place Director
 
     The Parents' Place is delighted to announce the official promotion of Elena Sanchez from Interim Director to Executive Director of Parents' Place Family Resource and Empowerment Center.  As of February 15th, Elena succeeds Karen M. Nutt, Parents' Place founder and Board Member, who served as our Executive Director for seven years.
 
     People in the community sent letters to the Board to share how capable Elena is and how well they worked on projects with her. Some staff and families approached the Board to say how much she has assisted them and firmly believed that she had been doing an exceptional job, stepping into the role of Interim Director.
 
     Elena lives and breathes the Parents' Place mission of "Empowering families of children with special needs through education and community resources."  She began her career at Parents' Place as a volunteer at the Information Fair & Festival in 1998.  She continued to learn and grow in the helping process and became a Family Resource Specialist. She then moved on to be Outreach Coordinator, Support Group Coordinator, Project Manager, Payroll Assistant, Director's Assistant and Interim Director.  Having worked at Parents' Place for the last 18 years, the Board is confident that her considerable experience will serve Parents' Place and our community well.
 
     Elena's strengths are drawn from her personal experience, having raised twin boys who were born premature and medically fragile; she has come to understand the struggles and triumphs that many families may encounter. Please join us in congratulating Elena Sanchez in her promotion and welcoming her in the Executive Director position.  We are confident that she will continue to do her absolute best in serving our community. Together, the Board and the Parents' Place Staff are devoted to providing support and resources to families in their journey of raising children with special needs. 
 
Warm regards,
 
Parents' Place Board


​Anuncio: Nueva Directora del  Lugar de los Padres.
 
     El Lugar de los Padres se complace en anunciar la promoción oficial de Elena Sánchez de Directora Interina a Directora Ejecutiva del Centro de Recursos para la Familia, Parents' Place.
           Miembros de la comunidad enviaron cartas a la Mesa Directiva para compartir qué tan capaz es Elena y qué tan bien han trabajado en proyectos con ella. Algunos miembros del personal y las familias se acercaron a la Mesa Directiva para informarle cuánto Elena les ha ayudado y que están seguros de que ella ha estado haciendo un trabajo excepcional al asumir el puesto de Directora interina.
 
     Elena vive y respira la misión de Parents’ Place de "Ayudar a las familias de los niños con necesidades especiales a través de la educación y los recursos de la comunidad". Ella, comenzó su carrera en Parents’ Place como voluntaria en la Feria y Festival Informativa en 1998. Continuó aprendiendo y creciendo en el proceso de ayudar a las familias y se convirtió en Especialista de Recursos Familiares. Luego paso al puesto de Coordinadora de la Comunidad, Coordinadora de Grupos de Apoyo, Manejadora de Proyectos, Asistente de Nómina, Asistente de la Directora y Directora Interina. Después de haber trabajado en el Lugar de los Padres durante los últimos 18 años, la mesa directiva de Parents’ Place confía en que su considerable experiencia servirá a Parents Place y a nuestra comunidad.
 
     Las destrezas de Elena provienen de su experiencia personal, ya que es madre de gemelos que nacieron prematuros y médicamente frágiles. Por esa razón, ella comprende las luchas y los triunfos que nuestras familias pueden enfrentar. Por favor únase a nosotros para felicitar a Elena Sánchez en su promoción y darle la bienvenida en el puesto de Directora Ejecutiva. Estamos seguros de que continuará haciendo su mejor esfuerzo para servir a nuestra comunidad. La Mesa Directiva y el personal de Parents’ Place están dedicados a  brindar apoyo y recursos a las familias en su  crianza de niños con necesidades especiales.
 
Un cordial saludo,
Mesa Directiva del lugar de los padres
