A great leader and great organization.

In the 1980s, Opportunity Partners became Minnesota's largest adult day activity program. Today, we serve over 1,500 individuals annually through residential, day, and community employment services. This photo is one of the first times the people we serve got to explore the community in the 1960s. Today, engaging in community activities such as visiting libraries, sporting events, shopping, and movies are among the most cherished experiences for individuals we support. #ThrowbackThursday #DisabilityAwareness #AdultsWithDisabilities #CommunityActivities #AdultDayActivityPrograms #EnrichmentActivities

3rd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

As we wrap up #BlackHistoryMonth, we must remember: work needs to be done to combat the problem of disproportionality, which affects black children and families, as well as other minority populations in foster care. As we acknowledge the work of those before us, let us use their example to guide us as we continue working on behalf of the most vulnerable children and families.
