Terry Bright

Director of Programs

Terry Bright joined Elizabeth House in 1994 shortly after the doors officially opened. Her expertise and experience in program management has contributed greatly to the success and overall positive outcomes of our program. Prior to joining our staff, Terry worked for a fortune 500 company and ran two of her own businesses. She is well-known among the non-profit community, specifically within the shelter program network as being a strong advocate for the health and well-being of women and their families. Terry has also contributed greatly to other programs through consulting and advising, especially in the areas of program development and case management.
