Deb Garrison and Gail Cannady are the two newest members of our team and ifyou haven’t taken out the time to get to know them….” you really don’t know what you’re missing!!”

Deb is the new Executive Director of the Our Kids Count Coalition in Jonesboro. In this new role, she will provide outreach, training and technical assistance to schools, hospitals, clinics and churches regarding ARKids First. Deb also plans to work closely with the board of directors to develop new projects that are geared toward improving the quality of life for children and youth in Northeast Arkansas.

Gail Cannady is our newest Americorp VISTA worker. She has become Jo Ann Trotter’s “right hand woman” at our Lake Village site! Gail performs direct outreach in Chicot, Desha and Drew counties and when she’s not doing that she’s searching for ways to get the word out about ARKids First!! Oh yeah, bet you didn’t know that Gail is the PROUD mother of seven children. Needless to say…she has a personal connection to ARKids First!

Ladies, come on in and get busy!!!
