For nearly half a century, ANCOR has been relentless in our drive to advance the ability of our community of providers to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We strive to empower you to deliver better services to more people, and critical to achieving our impact is the commitment and engagement of the true drivers of this vibrant association: our members.

Because ANCOR members are at the heart of the work of our field, and because we remain committed to deepening ANCOR’s positive impact in our nation, we are embarking on the most comprehensive study of our membership in the last decade — and we need your help.

Starting today and for the next five weeks, ANCOR is soliciting responses from as many of our members as possible to our 2019 Member Survey. The survey assesses a number of factors, including:

  • Your awareness and use of exclusive member benefits.
  • Your satisfaction with the association’s activities and key offerings.
  • The extent to which the member experience meets your needs.
  • Your ideas for how we can make the next 50 years of ANCOR’s history even more vibrant than its first 50 years.

I am acutely aware that we ask you to complete a lot of surveys. I’m also mindful that the amount of time it will take to complete this survey — about 15 minutes — is a valuable chunk of time in your busy schedule. For that reason, I am incredibly grateful for your time. Your input is essential to ANCOR’s ability to refine and expand the benefits of your membership, to be more responsive to your needs, and to ensure your voice is heard on Capitol Hill and in the presidential administration.

Please take 15 minutes to complete the 2019 Member Survey, and encourage your ANCOR member colleagues to do the same. Everyone who completes the questionnaire will be entered into a drawing for one of eight prizes, including multiple $150 Visa gift cards, as a small token of our gratitude for your input.

Thank you for playing an important role in building a more vibrant association!
