[Colorado-talk] Make Your Voice Heard

[Kevan Worley]

Thank you Scott. It is clear that our resolution and the politic connections
we made make a difference. The agency was very responsive and receptive to
our concern. Although I am not thrilled to the core with any of these names,
I would be perfectly happy and satisfied with the Office of Access and
Independence. I also know that the agency management team is working very
hard to untangle the Gordian knot of lack of accountability and funding
challenge resulting in lack of services for many, with which they have been
confronted in recent months. I believe there will be light at the end of the
tunnel. I hope everyone will vote; like Scott, I voted for Office of Access
and Independence.

Happy Giving of the Thanks to all. I am so thankful to be part of the NFB of
Colorado family.

Greetings Folks, currently the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is
housed in the Office of Long Term Care within the Department of Human
Services.  As many of you know, we passed a resolution at our state
convention calling upon the Department to use a more appropriate and
accurate name for the office in which DVR is housed.  They have responded by
selecting three new possible names and they want us to vote.  So, please do.
The link below takes you to an online survey which is accessible.
Personally, I prefer Office of Access and Independence and have voted for
that choice.  The message below does not tell us when the survey closes.
So, please vote as soon as you can.

 

Best and Happy Thanks Giving!

 

 

Scott C. LaBarre, President

I know it is a crazy time of year, but it is crucial to our mission to
better represent what the Office should be named.  Please take approximately
1 minute and click on your choice of names.  Send this out as you deem
appropriate to any other stakeholders.  Majority rules - so make your vote
count!

 

Thank you!!!
