BNI Staff Win at PAR Awards

We are so proud to have two staff, an adult consumer and one of our employers recognized at this week’s PAR conference in Harrisburg. PAR, Pennsylvania Advocacy and Resources for Autism and Intellectual Disability, presented the Direct Support Professional of the Year Award to Likia Rivera from our Community Endeavors Program in Philadelphia and the Front Line Manager of the Year Award to Marycarmen Walker, supervisor of our Supported Employment Program in Erie. Kim Bauer, an adult who was hired by Agility Marketing in Erie with help from Supported Employment, won the Self-Advocate Employee of the Year, while Agility Marketing, which has now hired five adults through Supported Employment, was awarded as the Community Employer of the Year.
