Dana Hooper has been the Executive Director of Life Services Alternatives. (LSA) for the past 16 years, but his journey started many years ago when his son Brent was diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability. Over the years, he has become involved in many areas of the IDD world. He became a leader in our community, working with government and nonprofits such as Branch Services (Board), Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired (Board), the State Department of Developmental Services and the San Andreas Regional Center (Past Board President), where his son, Brent, is a client in Supported Living. It also led him to his leadership role at LSA, where he can make a difference every day in the lives of the individuals LSA serves.
