Belle Cramer has been working with people with disabilities for over thirteen years. She worked in residential, school and facility settings before finding her passion in vocational services. Belle volunteered as a resource counselor at a dining room in Marin for five years and was deeply affected by those with mental illness who were not receiving any housing or employment support services. They would simply come to eat and then wander back into the world, on their own. Belle is committed to spreading awareness to our homeless community of available vocational services while increasing their opportunities for meaningful employment. She does this by continuing to educate the business community how people with disabilities or other "barriers to employment" possess enormous and under utilized talent. Belle is currently the Assistant Director of "The Customized Employment Project" of Becoming Independent. As such, she supports people with disabilities through their job search or in starting their own business. She is also a committed volunteer for S.H.A.R.P. through Drug Abuse Alternatives Center, and is a member of the Mayor's Committee for the Employment of People with Disabilities. She lives in Sebastopol with her husband, two daughters and their dog.
