A detailed agenda for our next National Direct Care Partnership Meeting will be sent shortly. Meanwhile, please hold next Monday, August 24th at 4pm eastern time for our next call. Thank you.
ANCOR and the DCA Team Up for Better Wages
Are you concerned about the low wages being paid direct support professionals? Do you wonder what you can do to change the situation? If so, join the Direct Care Alliance and the American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR) on August 19 for a free webinar to learn about a proposed federal law that would improve our wages - and what the "Power of One" can do to affect the outcome!The DCA and
ANCOR have partnered to host a one-hour leadership session.
We will:
- Discuss wage issues impacting the direct care workforce.
- Give a brief overview of pending federal legislation to improve DSP wages.
- Provide a tutorial on the legislative process.
- Share information on how best to communicate with congressional leaders and the value YOUR participation can add to the process.
Space is limited, so sign up today. The presentation has been designed with direct care workers in mind, but friends and allies of direct care workers are also welcome. Your involvement and action could mean the difference between higher wages and business as usual.
