Bio
Denise Eckley, MAC, CCN, CBEP
Working with Debbie while at Easter Seals Work Resource Center was a professional engagement of epic proportions. We had the privilege of growing the organization for those 13+ years and Debbie Smith is a large catalyst behind the energy and momentum in that growth. Debbie sees opportunity and asks how to sieze it - she is one who sees potential in people no matter what they bring to the table. She engages others by leveraging their strengths and because she is so passionate, she gets everyone excited about the process. Debbie is a leader in her community, in her workplace, and among her peers.
Rebecca Crouse Kelley
Debbie brings energy, enthusiasm, and expertise to her work and our community. Her commitment to developing the God-given potential of her clients and building a strong community draw us together, even though we haven't had the chance to work directly together in several years. Regardless of our divergent career paths, Debbie often shares insights and resources with others to keep us connected or aware of important events or opportunities. I look forward to working with Debbie in the future, since I know her dedication will not ebb.
