Why Join ANCOR?

Should your agency be an ANCOR Member? 

Here are a dozen ways to tell. You need to be part of the ANCOR provider community if… 

  • Your organization is committed to supports and services access, person-centered outcomes, full participation in the community, and valued social roles for people with disabilities.
  • You'd appreciate an advocate in Washington, fighting to advance your organization’s and direct support staff’s interests on the legislative and regulatory issues that affect you most.
  • You're motivated to use meaningful quality measures to validate your agency’s commitment to quality and accountability, to ensure your services keep pace with rapid change in the social services delivery landscape and to serve as a role model to other agencies in their quest for excellence.
  • You long to be part of the community that is shaping the future of service delivery for people with disabilities.
  • Your organization needs one-on-one assistance in navigating complex Medicaid, wage and hour, reimbursement, housing and employment regulations and systems.
  • You’re ready to be a part of the fight to end the Direct Support Professional workforce crisis through increased Medicaid reimbursement for DSP salaries and benefits and enhanced education.
  • You want to learn of new service delivery innovations and strategies and effective business models to assure sustainability and stability in today’s chaotic environment.
  • You wish to identify new opportunities for service diversification, increasing funding streams and social entrepreneurism.
  • You're passionate about learning and would take advantage of webinars, conferences, and other professional and organizational development opportunities that help you, your Board and your staff achieve the highest standard of quality service.
  • You must save money on operational expenses and implement leading practice cost containment strategies.
  • You'd enjoy the opportunity to network and collaborate with leaders of service delivery organizations from across the country and internationally. 
  • You dream of building the best possible future for your agency.
