Welcome Jason and much success!

Hint:  Emily truly is the only person in the OPRA office that knows what is going on.
Hint:  Never listen to a thing that Jeff Davis says.
Hint:  Always use the “Hollywood” bathroom at the office, because it has cool lights.
Hint:  If Than Johnson calls you, put the call on speaker so that you can actually do other work during the hour he is talking.  Every 10 minutes just say, “Yes Than, I agree.  Great insight”.

To all OPRA Members:

I am delighted to be working at OPRA.  With the future ahead of us, I want to let you know that I am here to assist you with your day, vocational and employment service needs.

In the coming weeks, I will be actively recruiting for participation in an OPRA focused Employment First committee.  Without a doubt we are at a junction in the I/DD field that will prompt the need for many changes, including employment services.  As we work to ensure that our voices are heard, the most important contribution we can make is that we work together collaboratively which will ensure consistency in our message and our plans to continue to deliver quality services that yield positive outcomes.  Your participation will not only demonstrate the commitment of OPRA members, but it will ensure that we help pave the way for the coming future.

I am very excited to get to work with each of you.  If you’re at the conference next week, please introduce yourself to me.  It is always nice to put a face with a name.  Below is my contact information.  Please don’t hesitate to call or email.  I’m here to help.

Jason
