HRC Program Specialist Accepted into Leadership Academy

Human Resources Center, Inc. Program Specialist, JoHanna Wnenta-Schultz, was accepted to the highly selective ANCOR Leadership Academy in February, 2022. The ANCOR Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting the development of innovative programs and disseminating information intended to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. ANCOR’s Leadership Academy, established in 2017, exists to provide training and mentorship to mid-level leaders in the intellectual and developmental disability services industry. Over the course of two years, the ANCOR Foundation supports selected professionals in cultivating their areas of expertise, promoting thought-leadership in an effort to shape the next generation of leaders.

JoHanna was selected as one of twenty professionals across the nation to participate in ANCOR’s Leadership Academy. JoHanna, Community Participation Support Specialist at HRC’s Church Street Day Program, is no stranger to balancing continued education while maintaining her work of supporting individuals with disabilities. Just last year, she obtained her Master’s in Education: Curriculum and Instruction for Special Education from Liberty University and graduated with Highest Honors of Distinction in just two years. Now, JoHanna hopes to build upon her leadership skills as she embarks on her new journey in March.

JoHanna’s participation in the ANCOR Leadership Academy will be sponsored by her employer, Human Resources Center, Inc. HRC fosters a culture of continuous learning and encourages staff to seek additional avenues of education by financially supporting them in work-related educational endeavors. These values stem from HRC’s mission to provide individuals with disabilities gold-standard service and support.
