Celebrating the Retirement of Executive Director

Celebrating the Retirement of Executive Director Shayne Nagel Following Years of Advocacy, Support and Leadership

On February 28th, The Arc of Snohomish County held a very special Zoom meeting for staff members to celebrate the retirement of Executive Director Shayne Nagel.

Shayne donned a special “Retirement” tiara and sash, while staff members snacked on party treats, sported some extra snazzy party specs, and tooted their party horns.

Shayne has been a part of the disability and family caregiver community in Snohomish County for many years. She has been involved with The Arc of Snohomish County for over two decades, beginning in a role as a Parent to Parent Coordinator, supporting the parents and families of children with developmental disabilities. Later, as Executive Director, Shayne led the organization through years of growth and expansion. She is a parent, a community advocate and a mentor to many past and current staff and community members. Her leadership, her guidance and her dedication to this work will be missed.

Happy retirement, Shayne!

And thank you for all the difference you made.
