Today's guest:
Harry Bruell, CEO/President, has led PathPoint since 2017 and has been a leader in the nonprofit sector since 1991. PathPoint annually supports 2,700 people in living the life they choose. The organization partners with people with disabilities, people with mental health diagnoses, and young adults to pursue their hopes and dreams through strengthening workplace abilities, building life skills, and developing meaningful relationships. PathPoint’s nearly 500 staff operate employment, residential and community integration programs in five southern and central California counties — Kern, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. Harry currently serves on the Board of Directors of the California Disability Services Association as well as an appointed member of the System and Fiscal Reform Workgroup of the Developmental Services Task Force.
Prior to joining PathPoint, Harry served for 26 years in the conservation corps field and transitioned to the I/DD field after losing his daughter to mental illness. From 2004 to 2017, he served as President and CEO of Conservation Legacy, during which time the agency increased its annual revenue from less than $1M to over $20M and started numerous new programs across more than 45 states from a base in Colorado. Harry co-founded the national Public Lands Service Coalition and the Partnership for the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC). In 2011, the Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar appointed Harry as Chair of the 21CSC Federal Advisory Committee. From 1994 to 2004, Harry worked for the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps (now The Corps Network) in Washington, DC as Chief Operating Officer and previously in other positions including Vice-President. He graduated with honors from Rice University with a degree in civil/environmental engineering.
