PADA is in the midst of several significant changes concerning their staff.

Two of our staff members, Program Director Rick Atkins and Administrative Coordinator Emily Bryant, have both moved on from working for PADA. Rick served as Program Director since June of 2012. Emily began her position as Administrative Coordinator in April of 2016. We appreciate all that Emily and Rick did for PADA during their tenure and we wish them well in their future endeavors.

The Board of Directors has decided to begin a search for an Executive Director. The first phase of this search will include the creation of a Hiring Committee that will work with the Board of Directors to find and ultimately hire the best possible candidate. PADA members interested in joining the Hiring Committee are encouraged to email with a brief summary of their experience in hiring processes (e.g. crafting job descriptions, filtering applicants, conducting interviews).

Until an Executive Director is hired, our Youth Programs Coordinator, Jereme Mason, will serve as Interim Operations Manager. Please email him with operations-related questions at .
