Nancy Laporte, Retired Director of Operations at Inroads to Opportunities, Wins Lifetime Achievement Award.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) September 30, 2022 - Nancy LaPorte, retired Director of Workshop Operations at Inroads to Opportunities, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by ACCSES NJ at their Annual STAR Conference.
The ACCSES NJ STAR recognizes the people and partners who employ and enrich the lives of New Jersey citizens with disabilities. The Lifetime Achievement Award is recognition for an individual who has shown outstanding leadership, commitment, and dedication throughout their career in support of people with disabilities.
According to Michele Ford, Inroads President & CEO, “Nancy has been a tremendous asset to the agency and has touched the lives of so many participants, staff and customers over the last 40 years. Her leadership, presence and warmth will be missed.”
Nancy dedicated the last 40 years of her working life to ensure that individuals with disabilities have a training facility that prepares them for the competitive assembly and packaging industry. This training provides experience with general competitive job expectations.
Nancy began her career at Inroads as the Coordinator of Operations, a position essential to keeping all the moving parts in assembly packaging in harmony. Her dedication, genuine love for the field, and the people, made her the natural choice to step up into the Director position in 2017.
A resident of Roselle Park, NJ, Nancy is the wife of Jack and mother of Megan.
