Meet Our Board
Andrea Jung (she/her/hers) - Director of Impact & Compliance, Denver Rescue Mission
CHAIR
I am excited by this work and, perhaps more importantly, by the people who are doing this work. I think one of the most valuable talents I bring to this opportunity is a vibrant and genuine passion for this work. Outside of passion, there are a few skills I bring to the table. First, as someone who is in direct service, I have relationships that I have been cultivating for years in this industry that could serve as an asset to the Human Services Network. Everyone has the right to do a job they love and be provided training opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Clients seeking services and support have the right to access workers who are properly trained and can provide support that promotes long-term positive change. I absolutely love that the Human Services Network of Colorado is helping this become a reality and I would be honored to be part of the mission.
