Our Leadership

At The ZEN Initiative, our leadership team is united by a shared vision: a world where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are empowered, connected, and fully included in everyday life. Guided by both professional expertise and personal passion, our leaders bring diverse experiences and heartfelt commitment to building a movement of belonging, independence, and dignity.

Together, they shape the programs, partnerships, and opportunities that allow ZEN participants to thrive—not just in programs, but in every corner of their communities.
