Thank you for allowing First of WNC to be the leaders they are as Community Navigators. They set the bar. Thank you for listening to Janet’s feedback, she speaks for many of us who want to see the world look, feel, and respond differently to our differently abled beloved children, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends etc... We need them in our communities. They LIGHT them up.
Thank you to First of WNC for hiring humans like Pam. She leads by example. Someone I know can see, hear and feel our experience because she is using hers to change the world. She is a gem regardless of her day job, however we deeply value both her ability to relate AND her knowledge of the waiver.
