MEET OUR TEAM
VPI is a professionally managed organization. An all-volunteer Board of Directors made up of local, active, and retired business and community leaders provide strategic oversight. Educated and experienced professionals with human services, manufacturing, business, for-profit, and not-for-profit backgrounds manage the organization. All are unified and driven by VPI’s mission. While VPI is run as a business to ensure its long-term health, VPI’s mission unifies leadership and guides decision-making, with the clients and employees with disadvantages at the forefront.
VPI is led by an all-volunteer Board of Directors comprised of active and retired community leaders with human services, manufacturing, business, for-profit, and not-for-profit backgrounds – unified and driven by VPI’s mission.
