National Impact Report: Building Opportunities for All
|
|
By: Kathryn A. Clausen, Communications Director
This year, the Community Action Network will celebrate 55 years of helping people and changing lives. In Ohio, we witness low- and moderate-income neighbors overcoming their unique obstacles every day as they work hard to walk their own paths to self-sufficiency. Annually, over 700,000 Ohioans reach out for and receive help from Community Action Agencies in the form of emergency assistance, job training, transportation, early childhood and adult education, and so much more. Yet the important work in our state only scratches the surface of what our network accomplishes each year across America.

Meet CEOGC's Kathy Stouffer
|
Here at the
Council for Economic Opportunities in Greater Cleveland, there are many key components that allow this agency to run smoothly. Some people are front and center and their impact can be seen day to day, while others play the background and allow their impact to only be felt; Kathy Stouffer is in the latter group.
Stouffer is a quiet and rather unfamiliar face to most who work at CEOGC. She began at the agency in August of 2018 as the Administrative Assistant to the VP of Children & Families and the VP of Community Services; Dr. Thea Wilson and Doug Bennett.
