Executive Director
Sue Theirs Hesseltine
The Board of
Directors' responsibilities include policy-making and raising
the necessary funds for the ongoing operations of Our Friends'
Place. Staff members implement the policies and manage the
programs set forth by the Board. The communities served by the
agency (Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and
area juvenile justice departments) do not have representatives
on the Board or on staff due to conflicts of interest. These
entities play an important role in the ongoing quality assurance
process. Volunteers serve varied roles within the structure of
Our Friends' Place including: Board Members, committee members,
mentors and tutors to our girls and young women, office
assistants, and other positions related to the maintenance of
facilities.
Sue Thiers
Hesseltine, who has been Executive Director since April 4, 1994,
has been working with adolescents since 1982. Her experiences
include therapeutic camping programs and a parenting program for
pregnant adolescents. Sue also directed a program for inner city
youth and their families. She is a licensed childcare
administrator in the state of Texas.
