Leadership

Toni Smith
Executive Director

Since 2002, Toni has led The Spectrum Network through a major shift in focus—from a "sheltered workshop" style of operation, to a network of resources and supports that help clients live and work independently. With this transformation, the organization changed its name to The Spectrum Network in 2006.

Toni has spearheaded several major advancements, including development of the ReCompute program, and renovation and expansion of the organization's headquarters in Decorah.

A native of Newton, Iowa, Toni received her B.A. in English from the University of Iowa. She holds an M.A. in Teaching from DePauw University in Indiana, and an M.A. in Counseling from the University of Ohio.
