LifeROOTS Wins National NISH Award

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We wanted to share some exciting news with you regarding LifeROOTS -- and a recent national award that we are being honored with in recognition of our organization's role in helping people with disabilities in the workplace.
 

NISH, the national nonprofit agency whose mission is to create employment opportunities for people with significant disabilities, has just honored LifeROOTS with its "2011 AbilityOne/NISH Performance Excellence in Using the AbilityOne Program to Further Its Mission" Award -- a prestigious honor and one which highlights our commitment to helping people with disabilities through the AbilityOne Program.  The AbilityOne Program is the largest single source of employment for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities in the United States.  The award will be presented to us in May at the upcoming AbilityOne/NISH National Training and Achievement Conference being held in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Again, as a friend and supporter of our organization, we wanted to let you know about this national recognition.  We're excited about the award and the opportunity to meet with leaders in the field at the upcoming NISH Achievement Conference -- and, most of all, we're excited to continue our mission of "empowering the lives" and "shaping the futures" of people with disabilities through our programs and services.

Thanks again for all of your support, and we'll send you photos in May!  To view a complete list of this year's 2011 NISH National Award Recipients, CLICK HERE.
