A Message from WVS Executive Director


As 2022 comes to an end, we at WVS would like to thank you all for an amazing year. Our success is due to the many relationships we’ve built over the years.


This has been another year of both challenges and victories. A year in which we continued to rapidly evolve against a backdrop of change and challenges. Yet, when we reflect and look at our data, it’s clear that we had a successful year in numerous ways. While our services continued to be impacted by some of our long-time customers not yet returning to their pre-pandemic routines, numerous others achieved new or improved employment opportunities due to the current labor climate. We’ve witnessed growth in most of our services and continue to maintain high customer satisfaction. With resilience, our team has risen to every roadblock and worked collaboratively to continue achieving successful outcomes.


While we do not know what lies ahead in the new year, we are extremely confident that we have the right people on our team and in our corner to rise to every challenge. Thank you for sharing our vision and for all your support in moving our mission forward. Our mission to bring new opportunities for employment and inclusion to those we serve remains strong as we move into the new year.


Best Wishes,

Janet Bruckshen
