VAIL ANNUAL REPORT FY 2019

Accomplishments

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”

Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke those words in 1957 and, as important as that

question was then, it is even more so today.

VAIL is an organization that exists solely to do for others. As you review our

annual report, you will see that this past year, VAIL served 527 individuals

throughout Planning District 6, traveling over 90,000 miles. VAIL staff worked

hard to provide the services that allow individuals with disabilities to remain

in their homes, with the people they love, and part of their communities,

independent and productive.

This has been a year of adjustments, given changes that occurred to systems

and procedures at the state level. Change is rarely easy; indeed, this year has

been full of challenges. But when a group of people is committed to providing

service of the highest quality for individuals who live with significant

challenges every day, they rise to the task. I am proud to say that VAIL staff has

met each and every obstacle with determination, perseverance, skill, and

grace.

The people we serve, often affected by disability unexpectedly, can find

themselves thrown into the maze of service delivery with no clear path to

what they need. VAIL not only provides a map through the maze, we also serve

as guide. We lead, we explain, we advocate, we facilitate, we serve.

Please join me in celebrating the spirit of doing for others that the VAIL staff

embodies, and the independence the people we serve experience as a result.
