Message from PHA President Kathleen Miller:
Following another successful and fun Halloween parade it appears that Karen Clark was asked to step down as interim Executive Director of Sonoma Developmental Center. No reason for the action was given. On behalf of PHA I would like to express our thanks to her for her hard work as Executive Director. We are particularly grateful for her efforts during the difficult licensing survey. I understand that she will be returning to Sonoma in her previous position.
Patricia Flannery will be taking over as Executive Director but she has made clear that this is only temporary and she will also be continuing in her position as Deputy Director at DDS. We welcome Patricia Flannery to the Sonoma team but have concerns over what have been frequent disruptions to the leadership team at Sonoma. Further it is unfortunate that at this particularly challenging time-licensing has still not completed its survey- there is no consistent and committed team over seeing the care of our family members.
Ms Flannery will be attending the November 10th PHA meeting and will be giving an update at that time.
