A new discussion forum has been created by Albert Van Kleeck. The forum is intended to pose hypothetical questions based on some interesting concepts in our field regarding how we support people. The first question (thread) focuses on the idea of people having a Personal Champion in their lives, someone who has connected with them and is willing to be their champion whenever needed and is in for the long haul.

CQL | The Council on Quality and Leadership launched the What Really Matters Initiative in the Fall 2009. This initiative is designed to provide help to organizations by shifting away unnecessary distractions and focusing on the real meaning of things -- personal choice and person-directed services.
In our work - we need to focus on what really matters to people; we need to be
about excellence in facilitating personal control and person-directed services.
The What Really Matters initiative will identify person-directed services with
the greatest impact on peoples' quality of life. CQL invites you to join with
us in this process.
In this survey, you will rank order a set of items (previously identified by an
expert panel) in terms of their importance in making person-directed services
and supports a reality for people.
Thank you for your contribution to this important work.
Click here to take the survey.
