Dianne Procida
Member, Board of Directors 		Port Resources: Dianne Procida, Member, Board of Directors "I am inspired by the compassion and the 'can-do attitude' that is shared by both the Port Resources Staff and the residents of our homes. People don't remember what you say, or how you say it, it's how you make them feel. At Port Resources, we make everyone feel at home!"  
 
Bill Oliver
Direct Support Professional		 Port Resources: Bill Oliver, Direct Support Professional “When people feel respected they have a sense of dignity which leads to happiness. This is the philosophy that inspires me every day. It's such a compassionate approach, and makes Port Resources a truly special organization. No wonder our programs are so successful and enriching. It's a great path to be on.”  
 
Karen MacDonald & Jason
Executive Director
with Resident		 Port Resources: Karen MacDonald, Executive Director, with Jason “The individuals we support are no different than any of us – we all have aspirations that we work toward, and challenges that we work to overcome. When given the chance, these individuals are positively contributing members of their communities. Many of them work, volunteer, attend church, are involved in clubs, and contribute to the local economy simply by utilizing area businesses and services. I always enjoy seeing a new relationship develop when someone we support is received into his or her community as a fully contributing member, and is recognized and appreciated for being a true asset to the community.”
