Meet Our Financial Department

February 18, 2010

My name is Patricia (Pat) Hallahan and I am the Director of Finance. When last we spoke I shared some facts about finances at Latham Centers. I would like to share some other facts about Latham Center’s clients and students.

Did you know that Latham Centers Inc has clients and students as far away as France? Yes, Latham Center’s adult program has a young man from France. In addition, we have students from Alaska, Virginia, Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire and Vermont. You may ask why. It is because the best place for a PWS student or adult is Latham Centers. This brings in much needed funds to Massachusetts by way of the employees that we hire and the state taxes they pay. Not to mention monies they spend on living. Latham Centers is the largest employer on the lower Cape. We have over 200 employees who work here and most live on the Cape helping the local economy. We are glad to do our part.

Hi, my name is Beverly and I work in the Business Office with Jean and Lula. Our office overlooks the campus and one of the fun aspects of working at Latham is watching the students play outdoors. In the summer with the windows open, we can hear them singing along with their Ipods. Another fun aspect is attending graduation ceremonies where many of our talented students sing, dance or play an instrument. The students also put on various shows during the year where their talents are showcased. We are impressed that these students care enough about others to have a bake sale to raise money for Special Olympics and recently collected canned goods for a local food pantry.
