Key People Behind the PIBH Name

As President & CEO, I foster existing and build new partnerships with public and private sector organizations to benefit those who rely on PIBH for employment opportunities. I'm committed to helping persons with disabilities achieve personal and professional growth by expanding job opportunities and advancement options through our PIBH member agencies.

With 30+ years' experience in consulting, business development and operations improvement, member agencies know they can count on me as a trusted advisor. I enjoy building relationships between state and local government departments and the member agencies that hire our workforce of talented and capable individuals with disabilities to produce quality products and provide exceptional service.

To learn more about PIBH's business and partnership opportunities I encourage both non-profit and for-profit organizations as well as state and local government departments to contact me at (717) 236-3610 x231 or at vloose@pibh.org.

Commodity Sales

For over 30 years I've been honored to help people with disabilities find jobs – because having a job is the greatest step towards achieving independence.

The Commodity Sales Department works closely with our member agencies to manufacture a variety of products. We're proud to say that every product we provide is made by someone with a disability, produced in Pennsylvania and used almost exclusively by someone in the Commonwealth.

Our business is about building relationships and changing lives. Currently, we work with many Pennsylvania state departments and our dedicated workforce manufactures everything from blankets and pillows for the state hospitals, to safety vests and T-shirts for PennDOT. We've also partnered with Goodwill to re-manufacture toner cartridges.

If you're interested in becoming a member agency or would like to purchase products made by one of our member agencies, please contact me at bbonafair@pibh.org.

Department of Administration

I came to PIBH in 1981 for a job but have stayed for the mission – to provide employment for people with disabilities who wouldn't otherwise have that opportunity. PIBH and our member agencies work tirelessly to break down the barriers and erase the preconceptions about people with disabilities. Our workforce is a successful one that takes pride in all they do. Our services include custodial and janitorial duties, as well as printing and data imaging. You might be surprised to learn that the workers installing the carpets and window coverings in state office buildings are PIBH employees.

The Administration and Human Resource Department provides clerical support and other services for PIBH. We also look for opportunities to tell our great stories through public relations.

Photo ID Program

I joined the PIBH team in 2000 and am proud of the great service we provide to the people of Pennsylvania through our long-term partnership with PennDOT. Today, 32 of our member agencies provide supported employment to more than 440 people with disabilities at the state's 98 photo license centers. In addition, PIBH provides facility management for the centers, thereby creating additional employment opportunities through janitorial services.

Employment through the Photo ID program showcases each person's abilities to work in customer service and make a real contribution to our nation's safety and security by providing secure credentials to more than 2.6 million customers annually. This extremely dedicated workforce assists customers with organ donor registration and motor voter registration. They also take the photos for the driver licenses and photo identification cards issued by PennDOT, as well as the lead and asbestos remediation certification cards issued by the Department of Labor and Industry.

When you visit a PennDOT Driver License facility, you will see these Photo Techs in action...please say "hello" from me when you get the chance!

Finance & Accounting

I joined PIBH in 1986 and oversee the Finance and Accounting Department. Customer service is important to us and we want to make sure that all of your problems are solved and questions answered.

Why should your organization partner with us? With 70 percent of people with disabilities unemployed, PIBH has a dedicated and ready work force that will go above and beyond to provide quality service. PIBH offers a variety of products and services but two of our best-kept secrets might be our confidential document shredding and catered boxed lunches.

It's because of our member agencies and business partners that we are able to provide life-changing opportunities for many people living with disabilities.

For financial questions, please contact me at psnyder@pibh.org.

Contract Services

I joined PIBH in 1990 and know the work we do benefits a very important population in Pennsylvania. The Contract Services Department oversees the management of our service-related contracts. People with disabilities are working in many of our state’s call centers and help desks; they are employed as document shredders, in mail preparation, in vending services, and provide custodial services in many of the state office buildings. Our services also include 24-hour maintenance at the rest areas and welcome centers along Pennsylvania's interstates.

What makes our employees stand out is their unparalleled dedication and commitment to their jobs. And that strong work ethic is cultivated by our member agencies, which recognize and build upon the strengths and abilities of each employee. The result is happy employees that fulfill our contracts with outstanding service. Because when given the opportunity and the proper tools, people with disabilities can do the work they are entitled to and overcome their personal barriers.
