President
Michael Waddell began conceptualizing a professional services firm that would deliver superior IT solutions to clients with unparalleled integrity. He visualized this organization being one that would offer IT professionals technically challenging work along with the support to successfully pursue their own goals as professionals and as members of families and communities. INTEGRITYOne Partners (IOP), originally founded as Prizum in 1995, is the realization of this vision.
A strong believer in life-long learning, Mr. Waddell has successfully completed The Harvard Business School Owner/President Management Program, as well as The Harvard Business School’s Leading Professional Service Firms. Mr. Waddell invests much of himself with fellow employees by sponsoring and participating in numerous charities, encouraging open dialogue, participating in mentoring and initiating a reverse-mentoring program, coaching, and other relationship- and team-building activities.

Why Family PASS:
“I receive many phone calls from people in our community who are on the doorstep of homelessness, looking for financial help to keep on the heat or pay for rent. These are people who need guidance and direction and are desperate to get out of the cycle of having to ask for help to keep their family under a roof. Family PASS understands that the cycle can only be broken by working closely with the family, providing for their most basic need of housing and guiding them to a permanent solution to stability. It is my desire to continue to reach out to those in our community with the greatest needs and help them break this vicious circle.”
