About

Sandy Sieber (Consultant) - Board Chair

I believe PRS fills a critical need for transition services and it is my pleasure to help it succeed and expand to serve more clients. The Board and staff do a great job and I am proud to help facilitate their good work.

Dana Nifosi (Attorney)- Board Vice-Chair

I became aware of the work of PRS when I met its CEO, Wendy Gradison, through Leadership Fairfax. Because I know several people who struggle with mental illness, I was impressed with the programs that PRS offers. I became a member of the PRS Board of Directors so that I could play a more active role in supporting the organization.

Jane Rogers (Psychotherapist)- Board Secretary

I joined the Board of PRS to expand my contribution to the mental health community beyond working with clients individually. Having been give the label of a “do gooder” previously in an academic setting, I anticipate that serving on this board will further allow me to do good.

Richard Brewster (Non-Profit Management Consultant)

I had done some work for PRS in 2004, so when an opportunity to serve on the board came up, I knew I would be joining a highly committed and professional group. PRS works with people that most in society write off or avoid and it’s an inspiration and a privilege to be able to support its work.

Audrey Goldstein (Human Resources)

I joined the PRS Board because I have always been interested in the field of mental health and especially community mental health. Being on the board of a community organization, especially my own community, has been very meaningful.

Deborah Holston (Accounting & Finance)

PRS provides an extremely valuable service to the Northern Virginia Community through its outreach to an underserved population.

Corie Leifer (Student)

I joined the Board of PRS because I wanted to be involved in a community organization targeted at empowering a vulnerable population. I am inspired by the direct service PRS provides.

Yahne Miorini (Attorney)

I joined the Board of PRS because I wanted to help PRS in its mission to rehabilitate, in the community, people suffering from mental illness. I am the guardian and conservator of a young man with severe mental illness who is attending PRS programs. I have been very impressed by PRS’ services.

Tom Polseno (Attorney)

I joined the Board of PRS to contribute my skills and perspective to an organization that contributes greatly to the success and stability of the Northern Virginia community.

Mary Supley Foxworth (Business Owner)

PRS plays a vital role in delivering mental and social services in our community. I hope to help increase awareness of the services that PRS has been offering for more than 45 years.

Tamara L. Watkins (Sales/Marketing)

PRS is a valuable part of the Northern Virginia community because of the breadth of services it provides. I am always excited about the opportunity to volunteer for such a worthy cause.

Mark F. Werblood (Attorney)

I was initially introduced to PRS through a local chamber of commerce. As a business person, I was very much impressed with PRS’ track record in providing its consumers with the skills to secure and maintain employment, engage in volunteerism in their community and most significantly, utilize their life skills so that the impact of their mental illness is minimized. As an attorney, I appreciate the service PRS provides in limiting consumer’s involvement with the court system.

Nick Harris (Financial Planner)

PRS creates opportunities for individuals with mental illness to live fulfilling lives. It does so by instilling hope and focusing on each person’s unique strengths and abilities. It is a privilege to be part of an organization that affords those in need with the necessary physical health, education, social skills and employment to recover and integrate back into the community.
