The Venango Training & Development Center, Inc. is pleased to announce that Joanne McGuire has been appointed Chief Program Officer for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

With over 20 years of experience in both direct care and management within the special needs field, Joanne brings a broad range of professional and programmatic expertise to her new role. After spending 14 years as a co-owner and program operator of an IDD residential program, she joined VTDC in 2022.

As a testament to her dedication to the individuals VTDC serves, Joanne chose to return to her roots in direct care, beginning her tenure at VTDC as a Community Employment Program Specialist. In this role, she supported individuals with intellectual, mental health, and physical disabilities in obtaining competitive employment through personalized coaching supports.

VTDC quickly recognized Joanne’s strengths and leadership abilities. Over the past four years, she advanced through several supervisory positions that capitalized on her organizational, programmatic, and administrative skills.

In response to the evolving landscape of the human services field, VTDC recently reorganized to enhance support for its IDD and employment programs. As part of this initiative, the position of IDD Chief Program Officer was created within the Executive Management Team.

VTDC is excited to welcome Joanne into this leadership role and looks forward to her continued collaboration with the community to ensure high-quality programming, stability, and growth.

Keeping up with inspections and licensing requirements can feel like an endless chase — especially when each site or program has its own system. Many organizations are finding new ways to bring structure, visibility, and calm to these responsibilities, even with limited resources.

Join us on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 12:00 pm ET for From Chaos to Clarity: How Human Service Leaders Bring Order to Oversight, a live webinar co-hosted by RCPA and PUPS Software. This session brings together leaders for an open, practical conversation about streamlining inspections, licensing, and operational readiness.

Featured Panelists:

  • Jim Sharp, Chief Operating Officer & Director of Mental Health Services, RCPA
  • Savannah David, Service Director – ID/A NE Region, Step By Step, Inc.
  • Morgan Gerety, Director of Maintenance, Caring, Inc.

We’ll talk about:

  • Practical steps to bring consistency and visibility to inspections and licensing;
  • How to move from paper and spreadsheets to digital processes without overwhelming your team;
  • Real examples of accountability and readiness in action; and
  • Lessons learned from organizations that replaced annual scrambles with steady progress.

Whether your team is just getting started or already modernizing oversight, you will walk away with useful ideas, peer insights, and tools to support your next steps.
