As you may know, September 9-15th marks National Direct Support Professional Recognition Week. Today was the kickoff event held at Norcom, where many people spoke about the importance of DSPs and the fabulous work they do everyday.  Among today's speakers were Judy Dotzman, Executive Director, State Representative, Gene DiGirolamo, Chief of Staff Daniel Lodise, from State Representative Brendan Boyle's Office and Chief of Staff Seth Kaplan from State Representative Kevin Boyle.  In addition to Board Trustee, parent and fellow employee Joanne Leonard and SPIN's CEO and President, Kathy Brown McHale.
