What’s at the core of how OADSP continues to educate, elevate, and empower DSPs? You.
With every passing year since OADSP’s establishment in 2005, we are increasingly humbled and delighted by how far we’ve come, and how our own growth and success parallels the rising level of professional respect and regard aimed at DSPs and Frontline Supervisors. This is due to an ever-broadening realization of the essential nature of these professionals’ work, bolstered by support from organizations and businesses connected – directly and indirectly – to the Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities field and to OADSP.
At the beginning of 2023, the OADSP team and Board of Directors took a cue from other extremely successful and widely-beloved non-profits and converted from event-based fundraising to an annual support cycle, or what we’re calling “the ABC” – the Annual Booster Campaign.
A boost from your organization or business allows OADSP to continue offering, and even expand, our free and low-cost events and programming.
This adjustment allows us to reliably acquire funding needed for OADSP’s programs and events – from the annual DSP Recognition Event, scholarships for Leadership LAUNCHpad participants, Beat the Winter Blues, activities, and high-profile speakers for our yearly Summit, to free educational streaming on OADSP TV+ and the OADSP Ambassador program.
OADSP’s financial contributors are always recognized. Download a copy of the 2024 Annual Booster Campaign levels. The Annual Booster Campaign offers more perks and benefits, including year-round and multi-event exposure, as well as free and discounted tickets to Jamming for DSPs, OADSP’s annual gala celebrating our ABC Boosters. Choose your level, pick your season(s), and then let us help you maximize your ABC opportunities!
