Our People
Our organization works closely with some of our community's most vulnerable adults, their families and caregivers to provide them support they need to live independently and with dignity.
We are governed by a community based Board of Directors who live and work in the tri-county area. People who receive services and their families are represented on our Board of Directors. We are always looking for community volunteers to serve on our boards and committees. If you are interested, please contact us and we will put you in touch with our Leadership Development Committee.
The high quality services we provide are because of the high quality staff we are fortunate to employ. They are educated, credentialed and receive ongoing training to enhance their skills. Most importantly, AWBS professionals are caring, kind and resourceful individuals who approach their responsibilities with enthusiasm and compassion. That is what makes our services exceptional.
We invite you to contact us and inquire about any of our services or with any questions you have about the system of service delivery.
