Dr. Monteic A. Sizer serves as Executive Director of Northeast Delta Human Services Authority (Northeast Delta HSA). He joined the organization in May 2013 as its first Executive Director.

TRANSFORMATIONS is a new blog by Dr. Monteic A. Sizer, Northeast Delta’s executive director.

Dr. Sizer believes citizens and government can work together as creative catalysts to help transform broken people, families, communities and social systems.
