North Country Self-Advocates
On Wednesday, March 18th, 2009, representatives of three of the JRC Advisory Boards and the North Country Self-Advocates each gave a presentation to the JRC Board of Directors Program Committee. Dora Owens spoke on behalf of the Residential Advisory Board, Jamie Dunn spoke on behalf of the Day Treatment Advisory Board, Roger McConnell spoke on behalf of the Day Habilitation Advisory Board, and David Liscomb spoke on behalf of the North Country Self-Advocates. The individuals spoke of the positive accomplishments of their respective boards, and their goals for 2009. The presentations were the result of a recommendation from the JRC’s Self-Advocacy Strategic Planning Committee. The advisory boards gave a similar presentation in January 2008, and it is hoped that they will continue to make one or two presentations every year. This is a great opportunity for members of the Board of Directors to get firsthand information about the programs and services the JRC is providing. It has also continued to provide a positive mechanism for direct input by the individuals in the program on making programmatic and other recommendations to improve services in varied departments of the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center. They have truly become Self Advocates!
