OVER the years there have been many individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of the Network. We take this opportunity to thank them for their time and dedication to the causes we all care about. The current Steering Committee is comprised of parents and professionals who bring great energy and commitment to their work, both within their own agencies and within the statewide network. We recognize that supported living takes great commitment, energy and dedication from day-to-day. Leaders are those willing to go the distance - to think beyond their own agencies to the systemic issues and the greater good. In the past year they have participated in the development of a long-range strategic plan - a PATH - for the Network and a two-day retreat that focused on lending clarity and direction to that PATH.
