a message from our executive director
Greetings, Georgians!
I am Dr. Whitney Kleinert, honored to serve as the new Executive Director and Chairwoman of the Board at NGAF from January 1, 2024.
Following Mr. Tripp Ritchie's inspiring legacy, I aim to continue the Foundation's commitment to supporting our local autistic community and families. My focus includes diagnostic support, clinical consultation, implementing the STEPS Program with the University of Alabama, and sustaining the NGAF Art Gallery in Blue Ridge.
Collaborating with our dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, we are actively expanding our impact, recently raising over $10,000 at our first Christmas Gala. As we pioneer new avenues for NGAF, I invite you to reach out at ClinicalServices@NGAFinc.org for any questions or to get involved. Let's make a difference together.
Sincerely,
Dr. Whitney Kleinert
Executive Director,
Chairwoman of the Board
