Strategic Planning for Successful Outcomes at OPWDD

In this episode of Arc Waves, we speak with Kerri Neifeld, Commissioner of the New York State Office of Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) about the initiatives and goals for the field, and how we can all partner together on our mission to provide quality supports and services to all we serve across New York State while engaging stakeholders in the process. Commissioner Neifeld shares how she helped craft a strategic plan to guide OPWDD in order to achieve the greatest positive impact on those with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

Commissioner Neifeld, who grew up near the foothills of the Adirondack State Park, has an impressive and diverse background. She holds a Master's degree in Social Work from the University at Albany, SUNY, and her experience in the human services field provides her with the unique perspective and skills to be a leader and innovator in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities.
