Janene Rauba, Board Vice-President
I also currently serve on the Children’s Learning Center Board in Camdenton MO. I have previously served on the Tri County Communities Care board, also known as Tri County Arc of the Lake, and the CdLS National Planning Conference Committee. I have 20 years of teaching in private and public education as well as two years at the collegiate level. I have a B.S. in Business Administration, a B.S. in Education, and a Master of Arts in Education. I have also taught Sunday school classes at various levels off and on over the last 20-25 years.
I left education in 2017 to care full time for my daughter, Janelle, who has a CdLS diagnosis and an Autism diagnosis. My caring husband, Joe, daughter Janelle and I currently reside at Lake of the Ozarks. Janelle is our pride and joy. She goes through cycles of health issues where she sees various specialists and requires therapies that made it difficult for me to work full time. Janelle is in high school in the Lifeskills program. She enjoys attending Wonderland Camp, Camp Barnabas and Camp Circle Star. She’s participated in Special Olympics program through her school and community. My husband and I both would love to see Janelle live as independently as possible and thrive at WeBuilt Fulton.

Susan Thompson
My name is Susan Thompson. I’m originally from St. Louis but have resided in Fulton for the last 15 years. I’m a busy mother of 11 year old twins. I previously taught special education but have spent the last 15 years of my professional career in DD case management, specializing in working with teens and young adults with complex dual diagnoses. My devotion in this field became more personal to me when my son was diagnosed with a developmental delay in early childhood.
I never back down from a challenge and hope to help create positive, inclusive and person centered change in Callaway County.
