GOAL
Bring new Life to AIR
After consultations with a variety of AIR employees and stakeholders, a desire to remain current to individuals interests and wishes within their supports was identified.
AIR determined that a 2 year goal would be necessary. Year One will focus on getting feedback from individuals and employees while also assessing current resources within AIR. Year Two will focus on planning for changes and implementing new programming among the AIR programs.
AIR recognizes that in order to stay relevant in disability services, we will continually need to be looking for new and exciting opportunities. AIR is committed to ensuring AIR is a place that individuals want to come, and employees enjoy the work they do.

Employees are expected to be prepared for working in the forecasted weather.
