Ellen’s twenty-five years in non-profit and community service covers California, DC and now New Mexico.  She has worked collaboratively to build systems that maximize the resources of public and private agencies, businesses and faith-based organizations. With a deep commitment to the value of each voice, she believes the best way to ensure the effectiveness of services is to listen to the people being served, partners, funders and policy makers.  Ellen is delighted to lead an organization that is dedicated to serving the community with compassion and dignity and to continue the tradition of excellence in care.
