The new year will bring new leadership to 43 North Iowa.
The Mason City-based organization announced during its annual meeting that Executive Director Sherry Becker will retire on Dec. 31.
âWhile every job has its moments, I can honestly say that I have been one of those lucky people who loved her job and the people she worked alongside,â she said. âIâve always felt honored and proud to be affiliated with NIVC, NITC and now 43 North Iowa.â
Becker has been at the helm of 43 North Iowa and its predecessors North Iowa Vocational Center and North Iowa Transition Center for 16 years.
During her tenure, the organization has responded to inclusive community employment services by shedding the sheltered work model, creating a model internship program, decentralizing services, and merging with North Iowa Transition Center.
