Executive Director Update: Building for the Future

    As we step into the new year, I am thrilled to share that January has kicked off on the right foot! We welcomed the year with new hires, strengthening our team and ensuring that we are more equipped than ever to serve our community.

    Additionally, we have updated our organizational chart to reinforce the foundation of our operations. Building a lasting organization requires a solid structure—one that can support growth for years to come.

    This month, we also had the pleasure of welcoming a new resident to our community. While our mission remains steadfast in delivering quality service and maintaining financial stability, our commitment to continuously refining and improving these pillars remains a top priority.

    By strengthening these areas, we not only enhance the lives of those we serve but also secure FIL’s sustainability for future generations.

    January has also been a record-breaking month for us in terms of tours. The number of prospective families visiting FIL has soared, a testament to the growing recognition of our program.

    FIL has long been a hidden gem in Coconut Creek, serving adults with disabilities with compassion and excellence. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, we are reminded of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown.

    Our journey has not been without its challenges. Like any great endeavor, our success has been shaped by unexpected twists, learning curves, and moments of resilience. But through it all, we have remained steadfast in our mission.

    As we reflect on our history, we honor the visionaries who laid the foundation for FIL. Though our founders are no longer with us, I believe they would be incredibly proud to see how their vision has flourished—continuing to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the remarkable individuals we serve, 40 years later.

    And this is just the beginning. 2025 holds incredible promise, and I look forward to all that we will accomplish together.
