Imagine Technical Institute (ITI) is pleased to announce Becky Warlick as its new Manager. A resident of Reeds Spring, Missouri, Warlick brings extensive human resources and leadership experience, along with a deep personal commitment to creating opportunities for people with disabilities.

Warlick’s background includes more than 20 years in management, including human resources leadership roles at Jordan Valley Health and Big Cedar Lodge. Her experience in recruitment, employee relations, performance management, and workforce development will support ITI’s efforts to help people with disabilities prepare for and secure competitive, integrated employment.

ABOUT IMAGINE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE

Founded in 2023, Imagine Technical Institute (ITI) provides vocational training and employment services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in southwest Missouri. In collaboration with Boone Center, Inc. in St. Peters, Mo., ITI empowers people with disabilities to find and keep jobs in our local community, working alongside non-disabled individuals while earning the same opportunities, benefits, and pay. ITI is the dream of Hollister native Tim Connell. His passion for creating a school for people with disabilities developed as he volunteered for disability-related organizations following his son’s Autism diagnosis in 1995. ITI partners with local businesses to co-create training programs. For more information, contact ITI’s Director of Competitive Employment, Josh Clair, at (417) 240-7630 or [email protected].
