“Each year I feel a renewed sense of pride as a leader of the Office of Community Services. The dedication and commitment of our grant recipients, training and technical assistance providers, partners, and OCS staff is unmatched. It inspires me to be better each day. I am continually humbled by the resiliency of the individuals, families, and communities, we serve, and their willingness to engage in honest and open communication with OCS and our service providers. The benefits of these engagements are priceless, and OCS programs are all the better for them. As we continue our work, I am enthusiastically convinced we all will continue to grow and move forward to support the OCS mission. And for this, I am grateful!”
- J. Janelle George, Deputy Director, Office of Community Services
