I’m deeply honored to have received the James B. Hammond Leadership Award from INARF (Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities). Leaving the recycled materials industry after 25 years to now leading Opportunity Enterprises, Inc. for the past five years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. This award is not just a personal recognition but a reflection of the incredible work done every day by our talented Executive Team and all of our dedicated employees. Together, we work to positively impact our community while striving to create inclusive and equitable opportunities for people of all abilities. #Leadership #OpportunityEnterprises #INARF #DisabilityServices #IDD #Teamwork #InclusiveLeadership
