Happy New Year! We’re revving our engines and are excited to begin the New Year by connecting bi-monthly with you! We plan to send out our newsletter every other month to keep you updated about the world of Self-Direction and In the Driver’s Seat. We’ve been working hard over the past 18 months to rejuvenate In the Driver’s Seat. Please visit us for upgrades and new additions:
- Reconfigured and enhanced the Resource Directory to meet the needs of the regions and communities we currently serve in the Finger Lakes, and Western & Central NY
- Overhauled and expanded First Gear, an introduction to the Self-Direction world
- Redesigned Self-Direction Interactive Map
- And lastly, we’re excited to share Connect – a private, secure online community developed by In The Driver’s Seat to “connect” (pun intended) each other to news, opportunities, and staff, 100% content related to Self-Direction, completely ad and spam free. Please take a minute to set up your profile and grow with us.
