PAR develops and convenes conferences, workshops, and regularly-scheduled meetings and educational opportunities some of which are offered at no cost or are heavily subsidized to enable people with a vested interest in Pennsylvania's community disability service system to receive the most up-to-date and essential information necessary to help them ensure quality services for individuals with intellectual disability or autism and their families. PAR's website, www.par.net, offers numerous free resources designed to further educate people about autism and intellectual disability. During FY 2016-2017, PAR issued 205 publications via PAR Mail to a direct mailing list of Pennsylvania service provider corporate members. PAR's membership provides the majority of the services and supports in Pennsylvania for people living with autism or with an intellectual disability. PAR Mail is also sent to business associates that include a wide variety of organizations that have business relationships with PAR members, such as consultants, banks, insurance providers, legal and accounting firms. Providers and associates then disseminate PAR Mail throughout their organizations to tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians. PAR sends PAR Mail publications to government officials of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and to the major advocacy associations such as The Arc of PA and the Pennsylvania Waiting List Campaign. PAR also provides PAR Mail free of charge to families and consumers. 76611 Access to Resources - PAR assists families including family members who have disabilities through scholarships and access to various educational events to help them learn more about how to meet the challenges they face through good information and networking opportunities.PAR provides free online access to information about services, funding and eligibility for consumers (people with autism or intellectual disability) and their families through the association's website www.par.net. This information is also available free of charge to state and county governments who have the responsibility for administering and coordinating services for people who live with autism or an intellectual disability.PAR operates CareCareer, a statewide database of career opportunities in the fields of autism and intellectual disability where job seekers can search free of charge for meaningful careers. 448676 Advocacy - PAR assumes a key leadership role in the development and implementation of comprehensive services and support systems that will enable providers to have the tools and resources necessary to provide person-centered services. PAR advocates for effective evidence-based policies, practices and quality frameworks to ensure that essential services for individuals will be available throughout their lifespan. PAR helps empower individuals and families who receive services and also those who are waiting to receive services through information exchange, partnership coalitions, as well as through an online action center (VoterVoice), PAR's facebook and Twitter. PAR assumed the leadership role in working with PA state government toward more responsible rules and regulations that govern services for people with intellectual disability and autism. Through a settlement agreement with the State, existing regulations have begun the revision process with considerable dialog between the public and private sectors. At the same time, the federal government made massive changes in rules that we are engaged in helping our members implement.PAR developed and coordinated a campaign to raise awareness of the workforce crisis occurring in Pennsylvania. Among PAR members alone, nearly 10,000 workers are leaving the field annually to find better paying jobs. PAR conducted a wage study in coordination with 6 other associations that showed approximately 4,200 vacancies are unfilled each day with workers being sought from temporary agencies or existing workers being required to do overtime because of the vulnerability of the individuals who cannot be left without support. Legislators and the state administration officials were invited to meet with a provider to observe the value of the direct support professional (DSP) and assist in raising the rates so that these workers, who do critical work, rise out of poverty-level pay. Dozens of legislators responded to invitations all over the state and awareness is spreading of this serious problem that faces Pennsylvania's citizens with disabilities as well as Pennsylvania's workers.PAR produced a 9-minute video entitle "Fix the DSP Crisis" that can be found at www.par.net or FixtheDSPCrisis.com. The video featured direct support professionals, a mother and her son and other individuals with disabilities. 1265149 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 17 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 PA X X SHIRLEY WALKER 7172362374 4 LEMOYNE DRIVE SUITE 203 LEMOYNE PA 17043 ROB REID BOARD CHAIR 7.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN BROWN-MCHALE VICE-CHAIR 7.50 X X 0 0 0 SR MARYALICE JACQUINOT TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 GWEN SCHUIT SECRETARY 6.00 X X 0 0 0 SHIRLEY WALKER PRESIDENT/CEO 60.00 X X 273702 0 16577 DONALD BRODERICK Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 David Wyher Board Member at Large 3.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Miller Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 JOANNE GILLIS-DONOVAN Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 PAul Coleman Board Member 6.00 X 0 0 0 William Harriger Board Member 8.00 X 0 0 0 Dyann Roth Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT SPREAT Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT WILL PAST BOARD CHAIR 18.60 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN SUSANO-MORRIS Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 RUTH SIEGFRIED Board Member at Large 4.50 X 0 0 0 CHARLES HOOKER Board Member at Large 4.00 X 0 0 0 DENISE CLOFINE Board Member 6.00 X 0 0 0 John A Kane DIR, POLICY & GOVT AFFAIRS 40.00 X 169620 0 0 443322 0 16577 2 0 1 0 0 1280964 17766 1298730 EDUCATION SERVICES 900099 257378 257378 257378 893 893 438 -438 -438 -438 LICENSING AGREEMENTS 900099 28085 28085 28085 1584648 285463 0 455 295653 236522 56131 3000 496417 357420 138997 25784 18564 7220 14549 10475 4074 55397 42102 13295 2400 2400 25382 25382 125310 125310 34163 27356 6807 53324 37327 15997 63773 48468 15305 199873 189879 9994 2148 1611 537 8960 8960 INITIATIVES 126943 126943 Internship Expenses 17766 17766 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 13620 13620 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MA 6088 5723 365 6084 6063 21 1573634 1265149 305485 3000 986627 1050966 424293 423825 27921 13568 16819 34207 29262 26300 5549 2962 5460 5460 1466669 1530988 103905 103588 28624 82021 34895 35120 167424 220729 X 1299245 1310259 1299245 1310259 1466669 1530988 11014 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1307881 1309319 1325062 1329080 1298730 6570072 146613 190761 188053 178461 257378 961266 1454494 1500080 1513115 1507541 1556108 7531338 0 0 0 7531338 1521 1373 979 983 893 5749 1521 1373 979 983 893 5749 48325 32752 39752 25096 28085 174010 1504340 1534205 1553846 1533620 1585086 7711097 0.97670 0.97570 0.00070 0.00080 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12, Explanation of Other Income: MEMBER SVC FEES OTHER - 2012 Amount: $ 48,325. 2013 Amount: $ 31,816. 2014 Amount: $ 39,752. 2015 Amount: $ 25,096. 2016 Amount: $ 28,085.
