One Place Operations Team

my why

“I believe that every child has the right to live a healthy life surrounded with unconditional love, consistent guidance and a sense of purpose that is supported by family and community.”

Dawn Rochelle

Chief Executive Officer

my why

“Servant leadership is about doing things for people who may not be able to do for themselves, and I’m so proud to be able to do important work every day.”

Ann Marie Raymond

Chief Advancement Officer

my why

"I believe children are the backbone of our future. We need to focus on ensuring each child can reach their full potential. We can contribute to each child’s success by ensuring basic resources are readily available."

Michael Biglin

Chief Financial Officer

my why

“I believe in adding value to people. I believe that if our community focuses on its people and their empowerment that we will thrive and prosper. I believe in the work and the efforts made to end any suffering of children. It takes just one person to spark the idea for change. I believe in being that change and working with like-minded people who are not afraid to advocate for what is right.”

Buffy Farmer

Chief People Officer

my why

"I believe a child's earliest experiences and environments, at home, at school, and in the community, set the stage for their future development and thus their academic and lifelong success. My role at One Place allows me to set the stage for this growth through high-quality child development programs, robust community resources, and family engagement activities. It is an honor to be part of our children's path to becoming productive adults and the future leaders of our communities."

Suzanne Gifford

Chief Program Officer

my why

“I believe children are our future and our greatest investment. Every child deserves the opportunity to experience a happy, healthy childhood and the work we do supports our goal of keeping children safe, healthy and ready to learn in high-quality environments. We know that our future leaders and youngest citizens are counting on us to pave the way for their success.”

LaWanna Wooden

Vice President of Program Integration

my why

“Children do not choose their circumstances. It is our responsibility to ensure that they have what they need for a successful life. Having strong systems in place and thoughtful, evidence-based programs provides the framework for children and families to thrive and builds our community’s resilience.”

Sarah Cavaliere

Vice President of Insight & Communications
