In moving forward with an effective program agenda, the Association for the Macomb Oakland Regional Center (AMORC) needs to have input from its key constituencies.
Whether you are a consumer ... a friend, family member or service provider of a consumer ... a corporate contributor, philanthropist or civic organization ... an appointed or elected government official who has oversight and responsibility for appropriating funds ... or any other interested party, we need your perspective on the issues of concern to the developmentally disabled and their community of concerned parties here in Macomb and Oakland Counties.
Please take a few minutes of your time to complete this short survey. Your answers will help us to be a more effective organization in serving the needs of the developmentally disabled and their immediate families.
