Thank you for helping us continue to expand the ANCOR Foundation Leadership Academy! When we invest in a more inclusive future, we are all the beneficiaries. And when the ANCOR Foundation added mentoring to the curriculum, it proved to be a great experience for both the mentees and the mentors. With your support, the Academy will continue to impact its participants, and we can all witness the strong outcomes, but most importantly, the individuals with I/DD that we support reap the benefits of dynamic and visionary leadership in I/DD services. We are excited that a generous donor has offered to match all donations up to $5,000. We are so close to that goal—can you get us over the top? You can double your money by donating today: https://lnkd.in/gjeTfZ6K

Hey look, it's Foundation Leadership Academy member Brandi Foreman on stage this Wednesday!

Families can be...complicated, right? Even more so when there are folks with disabilities and/or chronic conditions in the mix. I think community IDD providers are quite good at connecting and collaborating with parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they support and advocate for their sons and daughters. But what about siblings? Are we doing as much as we can to ensure that brothers and sisters are involved in their sibling's support (if they want them to be) and have the resources and networks they need if/when they need to become a primary point of contact? Are providers seeing siblings as the potential allies and communicators they could be as they strive to support people with IDD to live and thrive as independently as possible? This Wednesday begins ANCOR's Summer Access and Inclusion Webinar Series, and this year, we're focused on siblings. I am so energized to spend time with amazing advocates and professionals like Shea Tanis, Harriet Redman, Emma (Shouse) Garton and Brandi Foreman as they reflect on their own sibling experiences, as well as their work in our field, and share ideas, options and possibilities for providers to consider as we all work together in support of people with IDD and their (entire) families. There is still time to register. Join us! https://lnkd.in/e54tSmJR
