TAMI KING | VICE PRESIDENT
Details Coming Soon
 
LINDA TAYLOR | SECRETARY
Raised in Kansas, Linda headed west after completing a formal education in Rehabilitation Counseling in 1976. Starting in 1977 and continuing for the next 45 years, she worked in human services with an emphasis on disabled populations.

Building a life In Mesa County meant buying a house on Main Street in Grand Junction and setting down roots. Her last position was as the Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Independence (CFI) from 2005 to 2022. This is one of 354 Federally Funded Independent Living Centers established by a 1976 Act of Congress which sought to address the returning Vietnam veteran’s rehabilitation back into society.  It is also one of 9 Colorado Granted Centers for Independent Living. All Centers operate as private non-profit corporations under a citizen Board of Directors.

Under this tenure, CFI grew from one rented space in Grand Junction to a fully owned 4-million-dollar Community Center in Grand Junction and 3 Satellite offices covering 12 counties across Western Colorado. This increased access to disability benefits, specialized services, advocacy, information and referral, and market rate professional employment for people with disabilities is all at no cost to consumers. CFI continues today as a beacon of help and support for all people with disabilities and their families.

"Retirement in 2022 marks a return to Kansas roots with a big garden, enjoying Colorado recreation summer and winter, music and the arts, and committing to volunteer for issues I am passionate about. I joined the KAFM Board to help build the communication tools for our community and give voice to all of the good things that are going on in Mesa County."
