Julie Strenn has been appointed President/CEO of ODC by the ODC Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2021.

“I am so grateful for all the help and support I have received from ODC. In this time, they have helped me to also attend many online classes, which is really helpful when I am not able to leave my house and go many places. I appreciate all the ways they worked with me and believe in me. I am so excited to see what the future holds.”

“I truly believe that without the support of ODC I would not have my job right now. I just want to say thanks for everything.  It means the world!”

ODC is always excited to share the news when someone gets a job.  Here’s a great story from our team in the “Northwoods” in Minocqua…

Heather McKellips of Wisconsin Rapids was recently elected to the ODC Board of Directors for a three-year term.

As the school year ends across the country, this year things are a little different….or a lot different. But that didn’t stop the Project SEARCH team at Marshfield Clinic Health Systems from developing a unique send-off to celebrate the achievements of the Project SEARCH interns.

When COVID happened, Matt’s entire routine changed, as, for a period of time, he could no longer come to ODC’s facility the way he had in the past.

One of ODC’s employment coordinators new it was important for her participants to continue to work on their work skills, even though they aren’t at work. Virtual offering of “Skills to Pay the Bills” was born.

Today ODC lost an incredible member of our team. We are all so saddened at the passing of Jen Blum.

The words “community” and “connect” have been featured in many of ODC’s materials over the past few years, and with good reason. ODC has been transforming from a “place” where people with disabilities go to receive services to a “resource” that provides individuals with disabilities the opportunities and support they need to connect to their communities in both work and life.
