Growing with strong core
values
Since Angela became CEO of Con-
nections in 2006, the organisation has
grown tremendously. Their funding, for
instance, has grown from $10 million
to over $30 million. This, of course, re-
flects a growing need in the communi-

their purpose and innovative in their
work. Connections has an approach of
continuous improvement, along with a
real commitment to providing quality
services to people who need their sup-
port.
