Operations Manager, Washtenaw County Children’s Services
“I have served as both a Program Manager and Operations Manager in Washtenaw County and this content has been truly invaluable in my approach to the work. Whether guiding interventions with youths as a Program Manager, or managing our kitchen, and selecting training a programming via who we contract with and commit resources to as Operations Manager, the concepts presented by Limbic Legacy have acted as a value-based lens to filter all considerations through in aligning our services with our organization’s goals. I could not recommend a group more highly than I recommend Limbic Legacy and look forward to continued collaboration with them in the future.”
