“The Music of Our Lives” song track and video, written and
performed by Samantha Blanchard, granddaughter of National Advocacy
Campaign parent/advocate Midge Soderbergh; music by Andrew Lane for
Drew Right Music, Inc. A portion of the proceeds from this music
video will go to support NAC, an initiative of the American Network
of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR). There is a dire
workforce crisis in our nation. Private providers of community
supports and services are struggling to recruit and retain a quality
workforce. The ANCOR-supported NAC is dedicated to raising federal
and public awareness about the workforce crisis threatening
community-based supports and services. The campaign's objectives
are:
- Effect national and state public policy changes to address the
direct support workforce crisis in the U.S.
- Raise public awareness regarding the critical role direct
support professionals play in enhancing the lives of people with
disabilities.
- Obtain wage and benefit enhancements for direct support
workers.
- Secure incentives for solidifying a career path for direct
support workers.
A campaign video and public service
announcements that summarize the essence of this workforce crisis
can be viewed at their website, http://www.supportnac.org/  |
