Leadership

Leighton Lawrence

Founder & CEO

At the heart of every thriving organization lies a leader with unwavering dedication and vision. With a proven track record as a Chief Operations Officer (COO) in Pennsylvania’s Community Residential Habilitation Services sector, I bring a unique blend of compassion, expertise, and strategic acumen to every endeavor. My deep-rooted commitment to delivering high-quality services is matched only by my passion for empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to live fulfilling, independent lives.
