Changes

This fall has brought on some changes within our  agency structure and staffing. Don't worry, we are all still here and all happy to be part of a wonderful team! 

Meichelle, our fearless leader and founder of Angels,  has transitioned out of day to day operations. She is now acting as the CEO and continues to be an active member of our board, and overseeing our agency at large. Meichelle will also still be working on the development side of things, so you are still likely to catch her speaking at local events and getting the word out! 

Jennifer has now transitioned into the role of Director of Operations. Jennifer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been our program director for the past few years as well as the social worker for North County. Although Jennifer's role will be expanding, she will continue to carry a caseload in North County.

Stacy is now acting as the lead social worker and also continues to be the social worker for South County. Stacy will be overseeing interns, volunteers, and other aspects of our clinical program. Stacy is also studying for her LCSW exam and hopes to become licensed within the next year. 

Ellen has expanded her hours and is now in the Santa Barbara office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  She has already made a difference in the day to day work flow and we appreciate having her at the  "hub" to take incoming calls and manage the daily grind of the office. Ellen will also continue to be an integral part of our agency development as she works on outreach events, grant writing, and other fundraisers. Ellen also makes sure our monthly newsletter gets out to families and supporters. 

These have all been positive changes as we continue to grow as an agency. We look forward to seeing how we will continue to blossom in the years to come!
