Member Testimonials:

"Through CEA, Cascade Connections was linked with ENSO to discuss what’s working well and what isn’t within our agencies. These conversations have been transformative for our organization. From our discussions, we successfully restructured our department by transitioning our Employment Consultant and Employment Specialist roles into a unified Employment Specialist model with three distinct tiers. This streamlined approach, set to launch in 2025, will enhance collaboration and clarity among our team, and I’m excited about the positive changes it will bring as all staff share the same title. The support and resources from ENSO and CEA have been invaluable throughout this process, and we are truly grateful for the connection. Thank you!"

“Becoming Mainstay Director in Fall 2019, a very few months before COVID, I do not know what I would have done without the support and guidance of CEA. CEA helped me to navigate me new role and gave invaluable opportunities to my team to get involved, connect, and collaborate.”
