We are seeking

at our conference May 11, 2005. We know excellent work is being
done in Supported Employment and Transition in the State of Vermont
and we want to hear about it! Please take some time and nominate
whom you feel exemplifies excellence! As criteria for
recognition of excellence, a committee will use the APSE Supported
Employment Quality Indicators. This full document can be
accessed at www.apse.org
Note: The actual recognition ceremony or activities may vary
from year to year based on the theme of the conference and the number
of nominations received. Given the increased number of
nominations received in recent years and our goal to ensure the
conference activities flow smoothly, this year we will engage in a
more selective process. Please be specific as to WHY you are
nominating someone and how it relates to the following categories:

employer and employee in which; A) the employer has demonstrated
outstanding achievements in promoting supported employment, making

through supported employment, who has contributed substantially to
her/his employer's enterprise, and who has achieved a more empowered
lifestyle as a result.
