Dietz and Canyon Ranch FACES Leadership Team
Wellness Coordinator Andrea Lightfoot is proving that the FACES of Change® program at Canyon Ranch Health Resort is indeed alive and "well"! Two weeks ago the newly formed FACES Leadership Team, along with Dietz's principal and staff, celebrated the beginning of this new partnership with a delicious lunch prepared by the Canyon Ranch kitchen. The partnership with Dietz is the third Tucson school that the Ranch has partnered with since the program began in 1997.
Both the Dietz and the Ranch teams came together prepared to discuss the Wish List and to become acquainted with each other. There was much excitement and enthusiasm as everyone discussed future possibilities of the partnership. Managing Director Karen Ramirez and Human Resources Director David Getman, both attended the lunch, along with Kathy Rosenthal, FACES of Change and Community Relations Director from Crescent Real Estate.
The Ranch's Leadership Team is composed of Andrea Lightfoot, FACES Coordinator, Bettye Allis(Sales), Helen Bernard (Marketing), Dina Duarte (Executive), John Gantert (Food & Beverage), Tish Locklear (Accounting), Lana Lumley (Human Resources), Kim Nagle (Learning & Development) and Eric Tobin (Development).
The Leadership Team enjoying a delicious Canyon Ranch lunch
Principal Lisa McCorkle and her team, Joyce Anderson, counselor, Tori Arrieta, special education, James Ford, fifth grade teacher, and Judy Robinson, a former Dietz teacher who retired after 30+ years and now serves as their community liaison, thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Canyon Ranch staff, who exhibited their trademark hospitality by taking the group on a tour following the lunch.
Canyon Ranch Health Resort has continued to be an active partner in the Tucson community through the FACES of Change program, contributing its special expertise in many areas, especially in the areas of healthy living, which is a lifelong gift.
