Episode 1: Featuring Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of Fello

The first episode features Fello’s President & CEO, Jonathon Rondeau, reflecting on the organization’s transition to Fello, the importance of staying true to its mission, and the evolution of services over the past 64 years. He reflected on how the world has evolved and why Fello must continue pushing forward: 

“It’s important to think differently because people with disabilities need access and equity to services. Sixty-five years ago, kids with disabilities didn’t have access to education, housing, or other resources. While we’ve made immense changes and created immense opportunities for people with disabilities, we need to think differently about how we help meet their vision of what their life looks like, not what other people think their life should look like.”
