Glori Bine-Callagy has spent more than two decades at the intersection of advocacy, caregiving, and leadership across healthcare, education, and human services. Her career began in direct service roles and evolved into executive leadership positions, where she has consistently focused on improving the lives of vulnerable individuals and their families. Alongside her professional work, Glori has been a caregiver and advocate for her own family and friends, navigating the complexities of mental health crises, chronic illness, treatment coordination, and end-of-life care. Most profoundly, she cared for her stepdaughter Amanda—from the early symptoms of a life-limiting illness through diagnosis, care planning, advocacy across multiple systems, and ultimately, hospice and Amanda’s passing just before her 17th birthday. Throughout Amanda’s journey, Glori remained deeply attuned to Amanda’s emotional needs while also supporting her family, managing a career, and juggling the many demands that so many caregivers face. These lived experiences have given her a profound understanding of how isolating and overwhelming these journeys can be—and they fuel her unwavering commitment to walk beside others during their most vulnerable moments. As a human services professional with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Services, Glori has worked extensively with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), mental health challenges, and long-term care needs. Her leadership roles have included oversight of residential programs, quality improvement in healthcare and human service programs, patient advocacy, and direction of employment and residential programs for people with disabilities. Glori’s influence extends statewide and nationally. As President and Vice President of NJAPSE, she championed Employment First in New Jersey. She has served on the Greater Raritan Workforce Board, led disability advocacy initiatives, and contributed to national accreditation as a CARF surveyor and consultant. A successful small business owner, Glori also trains and advises professionals across sectors. With the founding of Advocacy & Navigation Partners, Glori brings her lifetime of experience to individuals and families in need of guidance during life’s most complex moments. She is known not only as a calm, compassionate presence in times of crisis, but also as a fierce and unwavering advocate—unafraid to speak up, ask the hard questions, and push systems toward accountability and action. Glori partners with clients through transitions, crises, and long-term planning, offering steady support and clear direction when it matters most. She’s known for her ability to shine the light on the road ahead—helping others take the next step when they feel stuck or overwhelmed.
