Neutral Zone’s Video Production
Creator and former adult facilitator of Neutral Zone Video Production drop in program from 2015-2017.
“I hope you know the tremendous impact you have had on the video program. Without your leadership and the support of CTN, I am not sure we would have a video program today. I still remember when you came to visit me and share the possibility of the video program. Every challenge I gave to you about why we should NOT have a program, you came up with a solution of how CTN could help support our launch. And even more, you were true to your word and came in to the Zone to make it happen. Because of you we have been able to engage so many CTN employees and have an amazing impact on our youth. You initiate and lead, you are an exceptional person.” Lori Roddy, Executive Director at Neutral Zone.
