Please Send a Thank You Letter to Your Senators for National Direct Support Professionals Week!

In a show of bipartisan support, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved Senate Resolution 228 designating the week beginning September 14 as "National Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week." Sponsored by Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), the resolution recognizes the invaluable supports Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) provide and the difference this workforce makes in the lives of Americans with disabilities.

Please use ANCOR’s Action Center to send a note thanking your Senators for National DSP Week. If one of your Senators was one of the original co-sponsors be sure to give them special recognition. Sponsoring any National DSP Week activity is a great opportunity to thank your Senators by mentioning them during your activities. If you sponsor any National DSP Week activities or media outreach, please let ANCOR know by contacting Mary Pauline Jones.
