This month we prepare to say Happy Retirement to our Executive Director Donalyn Sjostrand!
She has been a tireless advocate for accessibility and independent living these past 5 years.
Donalyn came on when TCIL was having a hard time supporting the six employees it had. Now TCIL is a financially stable non-profit which supports 13 employees who provide many supports and services to our community.
TCIL has expanded from one office to two under her leadership and has added many services such as the Residential Ramp, Home Transition and Youth Services Programs.
Donalyn brought other new programs and activities, from starting the HSU internship program, which brought us a wonderful new dear employee, provided a night out at The Rocky Horror Picture Show complete with ASL interpreters, and started the Holiday Art contest and the winning art becoming our Holiday cards!
Donalyn also brought celebration and acknowledgement, as well as recruiting and bringing on board a cadre of excellent service providers, advocates and managers.
Her contributions can’t be fully encapsulated here, but the depth of her care should be obvious.
So please join us in congratulating Donalyn on the monumental changes she has brought with TCIL.
