DMC ORGANIZATION CHART

An organization chart visually represents the structure of an organization, showing the relationships between roles and programs, as well as the individuals serving in each position. The DMC organizational chart is circular, with the concept that ideas and information can flow in all directions – not just the traditional “top down” approach.

DMC ORGANIZATIONAL CHART

Here is a guide/key for understanding the chart:

  • Each Director is assigned a color and the team members in the same color are supervised by the corresponding Director, as follows:
    • Brittany, the Executive Director is in yellow.
    • Michelle, the Director of Community Support Services, is in green.
    • Ruth, the Director of Collaborative Programs, is in blue.
    • The Director of Community Integration is in Orange.
  • The diamond shapes represent a Lead role, they include:
    • Pamela Torres, Lead Deaf Services Advocate
    • Nelly Gomez, Lead Youth and Information Coordinator
    • Paul Brennan, Lead Independent Living Advocate
    • Ivan Cortez, Lead Home Access Specialist
  • The dotted lines show Leads being connected to the team members they supervise.
  • The circular shapes represent each of the direct service providers and/or administrative team members.
  • The circular shapes with a bold line and white center show other important pieces of our organizational structure such as the Safety Committee, Volunteers, Youth Advisors, and ADRC Partners like 211 OC, CHIOC, and Alzheimer’s OC.

Our Administrators form a crucial part of DMC’s Business Infrastructure. They play a vital behind-the-scenes role, working both independently and collaboratively to ensure smooth operations across the organization. Each Administrator’s responsibilities are deeply intertwined, creating a strong backbone that supports the entire Leadership Team and drives our mission forward.

Photo of Dayle McIntosh wearing a pink dress. Her quote from May 1977, three months before her death reads in white text on a royal blue background “Everyone involved can be extremely proud of the results of their own efforts to this moment.  It is a revelation to me just what can be done by a small number of people if they are dedicated and have the laws that back their demands.”

Pictured five sets of human BIPOC hands making fists in a half-circle looking like the shape of a sunrise.

Team DMC – we’re in this together and we are here for you!
