Center Staff
Carlye Teel – Executive Director
Welcome! I am Carlye Teel. I have been Director of Ballard NW for over 30 years and I love what I do. Everyday provides an opportunity to help, make a difference, learn and connect with the wonderful people that come to this warm, friendly and caring center. I love working with my fine staff, all the fantastic volunteers, the participants, community and everyone that helps to make this center such a terrific place. I am a recent widow, have two wonderful children and four fantastic grandkids, all of whom are the pride and joy of my life. I enjoy traveling, wish I had time to do more, being with family and friends, reading, golf, being involved in the community and with my Rotary Club and other volunteer activities. I look forward to meeting you. Please come and see what this center is all about. I am delighted to have you visit us on the website.
