Margaret Farman

Margaret Farman has served as Chief Executive Officer of United Cerebral Palsy of the North Bay since November 2006. Her career in the field of developmental disabilities has spanned over 35 years – developing education, employment, recreation, housing, and supported living services. She has also served on numerous community advisory boards – advocating for the rights of people with developmental disabilities and coordinating services with state and local agencies.

Under her leadership, the UCP of the North Bay has experienced rapid growth with the development of Cypress Primary School, Cypress Secondary School, Recreation Services, and Social Enterprises: Gone For Good, OADS, Petaluma Recycling Center, and WineBev Services. Cypress School serves students ages 5-22 with autism and other developmental disabilities. Gone For Good, OADS, Petaluma Recycling Center, and WineBev Services employ adults with developmental disabilities – paying them market-rate wages that help to create economic self-sufficiency. UCP of the North Bay is currently expanding supported employment opportunities in Napa, Sonoma & Solano counties, developing jobs with many diverse employers.
