IL Assn Microboards
and Cooperatives
An Introduction to the Project

llinois Association of Microboards and Cooperatives is a project of the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities.  The project is aimed at helping people live the lives they want to live, with the support of family, friends, community and public resources.

The project offers self-advocates, families and friends the opportunity to create Microboards and Human Service Cooperatives, consumer-governed structures that bring resources, authority and responsibility directly into the hands of the people whose lives are most affected by the way support services are organized.

Director Lilia Teninty gave us the somber news about the budget cuts and we agreed that keeping our sights set high on quality person centered support is the best way to navigate around, under and through all the challenges we face.
Sweet beginnings showcased developing cooperatives and microboards.
Did we mention the desserts?
 
George Bengel of DHS updated us on rates
Rebecca Wiley shares tips, tricks and tools for making an effective website.
