Executive Director

Debra Guiou Stufflebean

Debra has been the Director of Shepherd's Center since 2008.  She is a graduate of the University of Kansas and Washburn University.  Debra is a former innkeeper, marketing & business professor, and has worked for both the Alzheimer's Association and the Arthritis Foundation.  She is a writer and maintains a website at www.kansaswriter.com.  Husband Michael also volunteers for Shepherd's Center. They make their home, along with their four dogs and a cat, in the College Hill neighborhood.  Between the two of them, they have six children and eight grandchildren. They attend Trinity Presbyterian Church.

Debra genuinely loves working with the volunteers at Shepherd's Center and is quick to point out that those who step up are responsible for the success of the organization.
