This webinar is the first in a series of webinars and in-person Quarterly Employment First meetings open to all Day and Employment Providers through our partnership with The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the Employment First State Leadership Mentoring Program (EFSLMP).

 This series focuses on organizational transformation toward Employment First and Community Integration. The critical first step for successful provider transformation is self-assessment. This webinar will be an introduction to the process and to the actual self-assessment tool.  This webinar (and each subsequent webinar) will include “homework” for providers to do with their teams and BODs.

 To be successful, providers should commit to participating in the entire series from beginning to end, and the target audience is Executive Directors, CEOs and Program Directors.

 Two in-person quarterly meetings will occur in the midst of the webinar series to allow providers an opportunity to come together and share and to do some more in-depth work with our Subject Matter Experts.  Mark your calendars now!

 April 21, 2017 10:00am to 12:00pm
