We were pleased that our 2022 Annual Meeting and Awards Reception was held in person this year but as a much smaller, outdoor event with only the awardees, board members, and our staff celebrating milestone anniversaries with the agency. We took a cautious approach to “reopening” while COVID is receding, so while we weren't able to welcome our usual number of friends and supporters of The Arc, we wanted to share with you more about our incredible awardees as well as photos from the event and photos recapping the year of 2021! Many thanks to our friend Jamie Costello who emceed along with our Board President Erik Daly and CEO Kathleen Durkin.
Because this year’s annual meeting is a small in-person event due to continuing caution related to the coronavirus, we are inviting any current member (those having contributed financially in the last year) to cast their vote for the 2022-2023 Slate of Officers and the 2022 Annual Meeting Minutes below.
