Staff & Board
The commitment—and compassion—to make a
difference
The Meyer Center is fortunate to have a dedicated Governing Board and a professionally trained staff that believe strongly in Dr. Meyer’s goal of helping each child develop and succeed. Their commitment and hard work are as critical and indispensible to our success as your generosity. Just as we depend on the donations of members and companies in the community, so we depend on the compassion and skill of our Board and Staff.
