Leadership
Skills Society is stewarded by an amazing and dedicated collective of leaders. We’re proud to have leadership that has a strong vision for our organization, and that is willing to take risks with new ideas to improve our services and the lives of the people we serve.
Since 1981 Skills Society has been fortunate to have visionary leaders at the helm guiding the organization. Never forgetting that we exist as an organization to support the citizens with disabilities we serve, the leaders of Skills Society see themselves as stewards of the Skills Society vision- Always aiming to create communities where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and feels they belong for who they are.
Board of Directors
Skills Society is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Their commitment to our mission and their broad range of experience and knowledge is a major asset to stewardship of Skills. Collectively, Skills Society board members bring family and lived experience of disability, deep disability system history and knowledge, social innovation stewardship knowledge, non profit management and human rights law expertise. The Skills Society Board is a policy board focused on strategic stewardship of the Skills Society Vision and Mission.
Leadership Team
Our leaders bring a deep passion for justice, equity and human rights as well as creativity, innovation and professionalism required for leading not only within Skills Society, but more broadly to ensure systems of support are empowering for people with developmental disabilities.
We are proud that Skills Society has very low turnover of our 500 employees. This is a demonstration of both the commitment of our employees and the positive culture we are always nurturing so that we can help the people we serve to thrive.
