In mid-March, John O’Brien spent a week with us in St.Marys. John has visited our community several times in the last thirty years. The purpose of his visit was to provide an opportunity for reflection, a deeper look at our principles and how we move toward our vision and mission. By hosting nine gatherings during the week, John had the opportunity to meet with about 90 people connected to Community Living St.Marys and Area. If you participated in one of the group meetings, thank you!
Please see the attached report Living Our Principles To Build A Community Where Everyone Belongs (John O’Brien).
Your thoughts, opinions and ideas matter. The Board of Directors and members of the Quality Assurance Committee will be forming a small ad-hoc committee to assist in the next steps in developing a strategic plan to guide our work for the coming five years. Employees are always welcome to participate, please contact us if you are interested.
