Angela M. Kanceler moved to Dutchess county a few years ago and has integrated herself into the community by volunteering time to various organizations.

She also created a Human Resources department and restructured the company’s hiring processes. Angela has also been involved in many programs, actively hiring individuals to work at LCS Facility Group such as the Dutchess County Workforce Investment Board in an effort to train unskilled individuals to be productive members of the workforce.
Angela is also a board member for the Council on Addiction Prevention & Education (CAPE) and is the Chair for the Foundation’s annual Dance-A-Thon which raises money and awareness for the organization and is committed to seeing the organization grow and succeed. She volunteers her time by fundraising and helping organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association and Catholic Charities and is also involved in various Chamber of Commerce in the area, including the Dutchess County Regional Chamber and the Orange County Chamber of Commerce.
Angela resides in Hyde Park with her husband Anthony and daughter.
