Message From The CEO
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Interior Community Services (ICS) website. These are exciting yet challenging times at ICS and my hope is our portal creates an opportunity for our valued visitors to learn more about our leading edge operations, strategies, services, sustainability initiatives and values of the organization. The website is part of our commitment to transparency an open communication to all our stakeholders as well as to the wider public interested in our programming.
ICS has continued to grow its programs and develop its partnerships to better serve others. ICS’s most valuable resources, staff and volunteers, continue to innovate and strengthen the array of services the agency provides every year to individuals and families with a variety of needs in our community.
My leadership of the agency is guided by my belief that staff teams will do their best work if they are part of a healthy, inclusive organization that values authentic relationships.
