Advocacy Award
This award recognizes an individual, group of individuals (including but not limited to elected or appointed officials) or an organization who have demonstrated above-and-beyond and/or sustained staunch advocacy to support the home and community-based industry. Meeting with legislators or policy makers, promoting the home and community-based industry as a whole (rather than agency-specific), or educating the community on home care services are all examples of advocacy related efforts that would be considered for this award category, but at an above-and-beyond, exemplary level.
