This month we're proud to introduce Maranda King, CPA, CA, our Director of Corporate Services & CFO, as the first feature in our new leadership spotlight series. ✨
At Huron-Perth CAS, every decision we make is rooted in our commitment to keeping families together. Maranda's… role helps ensure that our front-line services have what they need to deliver on that promise.
This commitment extends beyond our agency walls. As Maranda emphasized, "The community plays a crucial role in keeping families safely together. The statement 'it takes a village' is absolutely true. Families cannot thrive in a vacuum, and it is important that they have strong social connections, a sense of belonging in their communities and access to services without barriers. It takes the collective responsibility of every person in our community to help families living with adversity."
Through thoughtful planning and community collaboration, we're building a stronger foundation for the families we serve. Thank you, Maranda, for your care and dedication to our mission!
