In this, my first President’s message, I would like to do two things. First, tell you a little about myself and secondly, acknowledge all that Richard MacIntire (Mac) did for Martha Lloyd over the past twenty-one years. I have worked for the past thirteen years as the Community Residential Facility Director for Martha Lloyd Community Services. I have actually worked in the field of human services for the past thirty years, working in county government and operating a residential treatment facility for young people. My educational background includes a Bachelors of Science degree in Health and Physical Education and a Master’s degree in Public Administration. I have lived in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania my whole life and in the Mansfield/Troy area for the past thirty-three years. My wife Teresa and I have raised three wonderful children and have been very active in the local community. I feel very privileged that the Board of Directors has given me this opportunity and look forward to the challenges ahead with the excellent Administrative team that is already in place. This team will ensure that Martha Lloyd will remain one of the premier providers of services for individuals with developmental disabilities in the country. Mac is retiring from the position of President/CEO after serving thirteen year in this capacity. During his tenure at the helm of Martha Lloyd, many changes and improvements were made. These included new residential facilities in Bradford and Tioga Counties, the implementation of the Strategic Plan, the construction of a centralized distribution center for supplies, new parking lots and improved accessibility at many of our buildings, to name just a few. Mac was also instrumental in a new residential program for men in Bradford County that also included building a locker room at the pool. He was key in the development of the Lloyd Fund Endowment, which provides financial assistance to some of our private pay residents who have no other source of funding, thereby enabling them to remain at Martha Lloyd. Throughout all of the efforts, Mac never lost sight of what was most important; the people we serve. He often talked about the Martha Lloyd family and how important it was that our residents felt like this was their home. Mac will remain a part of the extended family even now. In closing, this family would like to say thank you to Richard and Betty MacIntire for all that you have done. Live in peace! Bill
