June Schelde Retirement

This is to announce that June has recently decided to hang up her ODC hat and retire effective June 30, 2025.  June joined the ODC in January 2006 as a Board Member and transitioned to the Board Chairperson role in January 2009.  On October 17,  2011, June stepped into the role of President/CEO and has led the ODC through some very challenging years including Minnesota’s endless program restructuring that has resulted in ODC’s downsizing as well as the unforgettable COVID pandemic!  Her stellar leadership has positioned ODC for strategic growth and innovation well into the future.  June has been steadfast in advocating for the people we serve and has spent endless hours advocating on their behalf.  June’s genuine care for people has left a lasting mark on our team and culture.

On behalf of the company, we extend our gratitude and wish June the very best in her retirement.  Congratulations June and thank you for your 20 years of dedicated service!  June and her husband Jay will be leaving Minnesota and moving to Alabama. I am certain that June is going to be missed by all, and maybe she will miss the Minnesota winters and us!
