Message from Shanda
CEO, Ability To Thrive

Shanda Johnson
CEO
Hello and welcome. My name is Shanda, and it is my great honor to serve as the CEO of Ability To Thrive.
This organization holds a special place in my heart--not just because of what we do, but because of who we do it for. At Ability To Thrive, we believe every person deserves to feel included, valued, and capable of living a full and meaningful life. That belief is at the center of everything we do.
We are proud to be an agency without walls, offering community-based programs that meet people where they are--out in the real world. Whether we're enjoying a meal together, learning life skills at the grocery store, or getting active at the gym, our members are experiencing life in ways that build confidence, independence, and connection. These moments may seem small to some, but to us--and to our members--they mean everything.
Our staff is truly one of a kind. They lead with compassion, meet every person with respect, andbring a quiet strength that's felt more than spoken. The bonds that form here are genuine andlasting.
Ability To Thrive has grown so much over the past few years, but our heart remains the same. Weare here to create a safe, joyful, and empowering place where adults with special needs can notonly participate--but truly belong.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. I'm so proud of what we've built, and I'm deeply grateful to be a part of it.
With all my heart,
Shanda
CEO, Ability To Thrive
