Tammy Dyer DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OPTIONS COMMUNITY SERVICES
As a long-term employee of Options Community Services, Tammy Dyer has served in many capacities, including ECE in the young parent program, senior manager for the Early Years program, and now deputy executive director at Options. “I lost my mom to cancer during my first six months working at Options. I was 23 years old and trying to figure out how I was going to navigate life without my mom. As I spent time working with young people who had never had consistent parental support, I realized how grateful I was to have 23 years with an amazing mom, and how important it is for everyone to have reliable support as they navigate their way through life.”
The contributions of these Women of Options, along with your partnership, will directly impact the lives of youth in our community for years to come. Please find a complete list of our project champions and how you can support them at the end of this booklet.
