Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery is shaped and strengthened by the community we serve. Our Board of Directors is made up of 14 community members who are passionate about our vision – Hope, Wellness, and Recovery for Everyone. Today, we want to highlight one of these members who have generously shared their time, insight, and compassion to bettering our community.

Our most recent Board Treasurer, Sharla is an experienced finance professional and the current Superintendent of Heritage Christian School of Canton Ohio. In her “spare” time for the past nine years, Sharla has helped shape and guide Board business, and has been especially helpful as a member of the Finance Committee and in her role as Treasurer. Her input has helped ensure budgets, allocations, requests, and all things finance are considered from all angles and with the transparency and accountability they require. Thank you, Sharla!
