Accra Celebrates its 30th Anniversary
Hear from Accra's employees, clients and caregivers as we celebrate 30 years of serving Minnesotans.
In 2022, Accra is celebrating its 30th anniversary! To recognize the occasion, we talked with employees, clients, caregivers and responsible parties about the the impact that Accra has made on the people and communities it has served.
Accra President and CEO John Dahm, CFO LeAnn Frette and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Lead Mary Ngunu (who have collectively worked almost 40 years at Accra!) also shared how they have seen Accra evolve over the years and why Accra's work is meaningful to them.
Thank you to all the clients that have been with us and trusted us with their services for three decades!
