Congratulations to DCARA’s New CEO!

Blogged under California, Deaf/Deafness by on Thursday 22 February 2007 at 6:07 pm

It’s been pretty busy here lately– hope you haven’t missed me too much! I’ll be back with more food for thought, as well as some of what I’ve been up to of late. But for the moment, I’d like to quickly congratulate the new CEO of DCARA, the social services agency in the San Francisco Bay Area. Handwaves and a hearty congrats to Diana Herron!

Herron has long been involved in the Bay Area community, including a previous stint on the Board of Directors– she has a wide background, ranging from corporate experience to education, so she will be bringing a wealth of knowledge with her. Good luck as you take the reins!

    No not Rhodes wife! DCARA becomes a country clubhouse like Rhodes turned CAD into the same thing.

    Roehm, can you never say anything positive??? You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but must it ALWAYS be so negative? I happen to know that many in the Bay Area are thrilled with the choice. Di Herron SAVED DCARA after Jack Levesque left in disgrace. If not for her and the board at that time, DCARA would’ve probably been taken over by the state. I can go on and on about her accomplishments. And, Roehm, for once, I would like to see you say something wholeheartedly, unreservedly positive about ANYTHING. Surprise us, willya?
    Kudos to Di!

    Di…

    From afar, allow me to congrat you!
    It’s good news to know that DCARA is in good hand again with your leadership.
    Best of everything to you and your staff.

    Hi Everyone…this is Diana Herron….thanks for your congrats and best wishes. I am excited about this opportunity and I look forward to the Bay Area Deaf community coming together and bring the Deaf spirit to the next level!

    By the way, Rohem, I never thought about a Deaf country club….maybe that is a good idea. Thanks for your wonderful contribution.

    Di :-)
