With the 50 years of County Boards of DD anniversary this year, it is a great time to get in contact with your local radio station and ask about their willingness to do Public Service Announcements thanking the community for including individuals with disabilities.
They may be open to having you bring people in to do the announcement, or they may wish to do the voice work themselves. They are likely to ask for a couple scripts for the announcement, so be ready. Below is a guide for the general number of words you can get in per typical PSA length.
Remember, free awareness efforts (such as public service announcements that do not mention your name) can be a great way to spread awareness and support of individuals with disabilities and work to strengthen and reinforce your paid outreach efforts.
You can find more general PSA information here: http://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/participation/promoting-interest/public-service-announcements/main

Congratulations Mary Pat! Well-deserved.

Congratulations to Mary Pat Riker on receiving the Board of DD's annual Spirit Award.

In that capacity, she was instrumental in ten annual statewide campaigns to create positive awareness of persons with developmental disabilities. She is also a charter member and past president of Maumee Valley Civitan (now known as Partners for Inclusion).
