Attending the Gathering at the Grove can be a really inspiring and energizing experience! Here are testimonials from some people who were there last year:
“It was a great experience – nice to see all the advocates and hear success stories!”
- Lindsay Nemetz, SSA – Stark County Board of DD
“The best part of last year’s Gathering was hearing from people who use services. Their leadership, self-advocacy, and guidance inspires me to keep learning!”
- Tara Nicodemus, Director of Quality – MEORC
“Last year at the Gathering at the Grove, I gained a lot of information and perspective. I was able to connect with people from other parts of the state to get valuable information on ways to assist the people that I work with to reach goals, and to guide teams to be more person-centered. Spending time hearing the stories of people that have seen success, and being able to ask questions of the team was amazing. I came back to the office revived and ready to take on person-centered planning!”
