His leadership has created a profound and lasting impact on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Anne Arundel County and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

“I am passionate about creating opportunities for people to have choice in their lives. Whether it’s those with intellectual or developmental disabilities, we support all our
employees throughout the organization. At The Arc, everything we do is based on person-centered thinking to bring a holistic approach to supporting the whole person,” said Rondeau.
