2012 ANCOR Conference

Join ANCOR at the 2012 Annual Conference: Leading Cultures of Innovation and Advocacy, May 6-8 in Washington, D.C.

The ANCOR 2012 Conference will give you the tools and solutions you need to create and lead innovative organizations and shape the future of your organization and the individuals you serve.

Through conference sessions, you will learn ways to:

  • Support leadership development and transform your organization; 
  • Implement the latest solutions in service delivery;
  • Navigate the latest policy developments that affect your organization; and
  • Make your organization heard at the federal and state levels.

The conference (Sunday, May 6 through Tuesday, May 8) is being held at the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in the heart of Washington, D.C.

Join ANCOR on the Hill and schedule your Hill visits for Wednesday, May 9; we hope to blanket the Hill on that day for maximum effect.

Visionary Leadership

Keynote speakers Angelo Armenti and David Leslie will teach you how to work in the present to achieve for the future.

In Sunday’s opening session, “From Dreams to Reality: Achieving the End in Mind,” you’ll learn how to accomplish your mission and stay afloat—without losing hope. In this session, Armenti will encourage attendees to identify the truth and face reality to make your dreams—and those of your organization—come true.

On Monday, David Leslie will begin your first full day of sessions with “Survive and Thrive: Positioning for Long-Term Stability.” In this session, Leslie will address how to best position your organization for the future through collaboration.

As your leadership contemplates retirement, what is your organization’s plan for the future? Do you even have a plan? Join Don Tebbe as he discusses the importance of succession planning, including the succession essentials you need to have in place now.

Whether by succession, fiscal necessity, or mutuality of purpose, your organization may face—or even choose—a planned merger or acquisition to maintain quality supports for persons served. In “When Everybody Wins: The Art of the Successful Nonprofit Merger,” Kathleen Stauffer and Laurie Herring will discuss their experiences first-hand in the mergers and acquisitions process, including the importance of due diligence and team-building to ensure a mutually beneficial experience for both parties.

Innovation and Technology

Dan Davies of AbleLink will discuss how to increase social connectedness through technology—on all levels of your organization. DSPs are invited to join this session.

Health and wellness is an increasingly important topic to address—on all levels of your organization. In “Evidence-Based Health Promotion,” Leslie Hoelzel of ARCA will address the health and wellness initiatives her organization has successfully implemented, through nutrition and exercise. Additionally, John Pelizza will discuss health disparities and people with disabilities.

By supporting self-direction, organizations can better support individuals in achieving their outcomes, while enhancing the bottom-line. Ari Ne’eman will address how self-direction can positively impact your organization in light of managed care implications. Gail Godwin, executive director of Shared Support, and panel will discuss the importance of partnerships in advancing self-direction and attaining an enhanced level of satisfaction for the people you support. 

With all that ANCOR's 2012 Conference offers, you can't afford not to be there!
