When our previous Board Chairman, the Honorable Jerome
Zaleski, and our founder and CEO Emeritus, Dr. Joseph Ruggiero,
asked me my interest in taking over the reins of Self Help
Movement in January, 2010, I was both humbled and honored.
My focus was stepping into this challenging role at a highly
respected and valued addiction treatment center and
finding ways to continue the mission while also
looking for ways to expand our goals and our vision to meet
the ever increasing needs of our clients and funders. I have
found this responsibility to be enormously rewarding and
satisfying and can only hope that I can return a small portion of
what I receive from the clients and staff at Self Help.
