Guastella stated, “I am so impressed with NCFL’s values, vision and commitment to its mission that it’s a privilege to give donors and funders the opportunity to invest in the world they believe in and not deny anyone the chance to change the world for an individual or family living with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. I am so happy to have joined NCFL at this stage in my career so I could offer my experience.”
According to CEO Steve Setteducati, “NCFL is very pleased to be adding an individual with the skill and experience needed to successfully enhance our operations and meet our goals for growth and customer satisfaction. We fully expect that Marisa’s talent will benefit us in the years to come and enhance our ability to provide our family of extraordinary individuals with the high-quality services they deserve.”
