The Innovations Advocacy Council

I want to use one of the first posts on this blog to give credit to the Innovations Advocacy Council, who identified the need for Innovations to share information more directly with its stakeholders, and inspired the creation of this blog. 

The Innovations Advocacy Council was founded this past year to give members of the Innovations network an opportunity to provide ideas and feedback to the Innovations Management team.  The Mission of the Innovations Advocacy Council is to “support and empower individuals with developmental disabilities to maintain full and independent lives. The Innovations Advocacy Council will work toward strengthening bonds in the community and its interaction with individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as advocating for individuals with disabilities within Innovations and governing agencies.”  The Advocacy Council consists of a diverse cross-section of people who are connected with our services here at Innovations.  Specifically, it is comprised of individuals receiving services from Innovations, family members and guardians of people receiving services, contract providers for Innovations, and employees of Innovations.   We continue to be grateful for the opportunity to get feedback from a group of people that cares deeply about the individuals we serve. 

If you have any agenda items for the Advocacy Council, or if you wish to learn more about the Council, please contact Lou Ella Price at lprice@imaginecolorado.org.
