April 12-18 is National Volunteer Appreciation Week

INARF is committed to strengthening the system of services and supports for Hoosiers with disabilities. It is the drive of the many INARF volunteer leaders that help bring that commitment to life. INARF would like to take this opportunity to thank its volunteer leaders, as their dedication provides so much to the industry. The accomplishments of each of INARF’s Corporate Committees are available on this page. Their participation in these corporate committees helps to identify and research industry issues, develop solutions and resources for the Association and INARF member agencies to enhance the delivery of services to individuals with developmental disabilities. 

Presidential Proclamation 4288 was signed in 1974. It established National Volunteer Week in the U.S., a program of Points of Light. “Across our country, volunteers open doors of opportunity, pave avenues of success, fortify their communities, and lay the foundation for tomorrow's growth and prosperity” Reads the 2014 proclamation from President Obama, “They are often equipped with few resources and gain little recognition, yet because of their service, our country is a better and a stronger force for good.” 

INARF hopes you recognize the volunteers in your organization this week. Their service truly enriches the lives of those within the community.
