ANCOR’s 2010 Direct Support Professional Recognition Contest

Do you know a Direct Support Professional (DSP) staff member who should be recognized for his or her advocacy and commitment to the profession? Then don’t delay - ANCOR is calling for nominations for the 2010 Direct Support Professional Recognition Contest, and nominations close this Friday, February 26 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

In the fourth year that ANCOR has sponsored this contest as part of its National Advocacy Campaign, the program's purpose is to recognize the best of the DSP workforce and simultaneously raise awareness in Washington, D.C. for the devotion, professionalism and quality supports DSPs provide daily.

The contest offers a great way to recognize the tremendous role DSPs play in the lives of people with disabilities and the impact their work has in the communities they serve. In addition to having strong ties to the community, the ideal nominee should have a proven record of effective leadership and exemplary action in fostering inclusion and promoting greater independence for people with disabilities.
