Welcome House, Inc.

Ok so here you go….. Welcome House is a non profit agency in Cleveland OH serving persons with developmental disabilities all over the county. We have been in existence since 1972(53 years) and have had only two(2) previous Executive Directors, until this July when I retired and Meg Nachtwey took over as our third(3) Executive Director and CEO. Her work and dedication speaks for itself. She is the leader among leaders. She will be the best leader that this organization has ever seen. Congratulations Meg and a well deserved recognition and appointment as CEO. I am so happy for you!!!

Please join us in congratulating Meg Nachtwey on her appointment as the new CEO of Welcome House. Meg has served as our Chief Operating Officer with exceptional dedication and leadership, and we are thrilled to see her step into this role. "As a mom, I know what it means to fight for your children — and I see that same fierce love in the families we serve. That connection drives me every day and deepens my commitment to leading with empathy and purpose."
