“Amazing event and amazing job! Thank you for the ability to have time to get above the day-to-day fray and think! I really came away with the thought that the Institute has to be leading to the future, not shoring up the past!”

“The Institute is perceived by my team as having the highest ROI of any partner organization. We’re a multi-pronged organization that interfaces three different governmental entities. Our challenge is that no one industry linkage fits the bill. The Institute’s expertise is IDHS, but it has an ability to cut across audiences, work quickly, and bring together some of the best minds to discuss issues that we're facing.”

”I knew I needed to be around people facing similar challenges and look at things from a state-wide perspective. The Institute has its eye on the critical issues I need to be aware of and articulates those back to its members in a way that helps us stay connected and maximize our bandwidth.”

The Institute has been an invaluable partner to our organization. Its forward-thinking approach, insight into national trends affecting the I/DD community, and connections to industry leaders across the country help ensure we stay informed, prepared, and positioned to advance our mission. The Institute keeps us ahead of the curve so we can better serve and support those who depend on us.

We have proudly supported the Institute since day one. The critical information, specialized training, and policy advocacy they provide serve as an essential lifeline for state I/DD providers navigating today's industry challenges.
