After a quarter of a century with the agency, the executive director of the North Okanagan Neurological Association (NONA) Child Development Centre is retiring.
Helen Armstrong, the long-time Executive Director who has worked for NONA for the past 25 years, announced her retirement.
In a release, it was stated that Armstrong played a pivotal role in the growth and success of NONA, along with helping numerous children and families over that period, including children with a range of infant development disorders including autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder through a range of programs including physiotherapy, speech-language therapy, and occupational therapy.
The agency said, since Armstrong joined the organization, NONA grew from a small community office to a leading organization in child development and services, and had a passionate and unwavering dedication to the NONA mission of providing quality care and educational support for all children.
