Jim is responsible for the recruiting and training programs at CIS. He also oversees human resources as well as internal and external investigations for incidents with clients.

​

Jim began working at CIS in December 2006 and started as a program manager in Spokane when that program was created. In October 2010, he became the trainer/recruiter in Spokane and managed recruiting and training staff in the Spokane area. In July 2023, Jim relocated to Federal Way to take the role of human resource director for CIS in Federal Way and Spokane.

​

Jim notes that he was inspired as soon as he started working at CIS. “Charlie and Janell are very knowledgeable and also passionate about what they do,” Jim states that he is impressed with CIS’ emphasis on the value of people. “I absolutely love CIS’ mission statement, especially the third paragraph that states ‘Community Integrated Services believes that its employees are the foundation and the preeminent resource integral to CIS’s ability to fulfill the company’s goal of being the premier provider of services to our community’s most vulnerable individuals.”

​

Jim says that he believes working at CIS is full of opportunities to help others and grow as a person. He explains, “Many of our employees have worked at CIS for years, and a lot of people have been able to utilize the knowledge they have accrued over the years to take leadership positions as part of the management team.”

​

Even when times can be challenging, Jim explains that people can be successful by working as a team. “I have learned a lot at CIS about the meaning of teamwork and how much can be accomplished when people support each other.” Jim continues, “Working together to support people in becoming successful in life is motivating in and of itself, but it is so much more fulfilling doing so at a company like CIS!”
