Join us in wishing a warm welcome to
Sarah Mulligan
Chief Executive Office
Village Community Services is thrilled to welcome Sarah Mulligan as our new Chief Executive Officer – just as we proudly conclude our 60th anniversary year of serving adults with disabilities in Skagit and Snohomish counties. This milestone isn’t just a celebration of our past – it’s a powerful launching point for our future. And with Sarah at the helm, that future looks brighter than ever.
Sarah brings more than 30 years of experience leading nonprofit organizations with heart, vision, and impact. Her career has been built on advancing inclusion, equity, and exceptional services for individuals with disabilities – values that align perfectly with the mission and spirit of VCS.
As a mom of four – including three who were adopted and two with Down syndrome – Sarah brings deep compassion and personal insight to her role. She understands the disability community not just as a leader, but as a parent, advocate, and partner. Her approach is grounded, inclusive, and future-focused.
After years in Montana, Sarah and her family are delighted to return to the Pacific Northwest. She now leads VCS into our next chapter with bold goals, a commitment to innovation, and a deep belief in the power of community. Please join us in welcoming Sarah to the Village family!
