Current Narrative:

VR continued to support the Indiana Statewide Independent Living Council (INSILC) with I&E funds. INSILC members were given opportunity to attend national conferences, and were reimbursed for their travel and related expenses for attendance at board meetings. VR has also maintained a business and community engagement team who have a presence across Indiana to share resources and educate businesses about opportunities to employ individuals with disabilities. This team is led by a Director of business and community engagement, and their efforts have nearly doubled VR’s social media following in FFY2017. Additionally, continued collaboration with DWD occurred throughout 2017, including planning for new required federal data collection regarding business engagement efforts.
