14 Years at Candor: CEO, Barb Thayer’s Story
Barb Thayer – Chief Executive Officer
When I joined the Robert Crown Center for Health Education as a consultant in 2011, I could never have anticipated the remarkable journey my career would take over the next 14 years. Progressing through various roles—from Special Events Coordinator to Development Associate, Director of Operations, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Director, and finally, CEO—I’ve worn many hats along the way.

I was 14 when I tried my first vape. It was “blueberry ice” flavored, and the head rush nearly knocked 9th grade me off my feet. The more hits I took, the more I wanted – and the more influence the cool-looking device that fit neatly into my hand had over my life. | | | |

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT Navigating Middle School Years | |
| |
Navigating Middle School Years is a unique Candor program that allows students to explore common middle school situations, ideally, before faced with the experience themselves. This scenario-based program will take students along as our 8 grade characters reflect on situations they experienced in middle school and what they learned from them. | |
