Principals and Key Staff

Through thoughtful strategic and succession planning, SHN’s leadership team is comprised of senior staff from all of our service area disciplines. We often promote from within, and many of our current leaders began at SHN as junior-level staff, rising to become Principals, Directors, or Office Leads.
