Imagine! is delighted to announce that Jeff Tucker has been selected as our new Director of Human Resources.

Jeff replaces Laura Ball, who left to pursue other challenges. We will miss Laura greatly, but are confident that Jeff will step in and fill her shoes admirably.

Jeff is an experienced and adept Human Resources professional, with many years dedicated to improving education, social services, and non-profit organizations – most recently with mental health services. He has served on non-profit boards and worked with leadership teams to build effective programs and positive, engaging workplace cultures where both clients served and employees can grow and thrive. As a licensed attorney with a focus on employment and labor law, Jeff understands how to blend legal compliance with principles of fairness, compassion, and advocacy for employees into the workplace. Jeff loves engaging with others to create, innovate, and set goals, and understands that successful strategy is built on a foundation of shared values, meaningful work, and a supportive culture. He is also a strong advocate for diversity and equity, working to create an environment of belonging and inclusion for everyone.

Jeff holds a BS in Secondary Education from Southeast Missouri State University and a JD from Drake University Law School. Jeff attended both universities on academic scholarships and graduated with honors. While he values education, Jeff is fond of reminding himself and others, “There are so many ways to be smart, and so much we can learn from everyone we meet.”

Jeff is a “semi-native” to Colorado, spending several years of his childhood in Denver. After living and working in the Midwest, Jeff and his family returned to Denver to be closer to family. Jeff loves spending time with his wife and college-age kids, attending rock concerts, playing basketball, bike riding, brewing beer, and learning about history.

Jeff started work at the end of December, and we’re already impressed with his skill, knowledge, and understanding of our work and the population we serve. We welcome him and look forward to his contributions toward creating a world of opportunity for all abilities!
