Description

A common misconception exists that NARR affiliate organizations’ primary purpose is to certify residences according to the NARR standards. The truth is far different, and far more interesting. Panelists from a cross-section of NARR affiliate organizations will discuss the programs, services and functions of their organizations, and of NARR affiliates generally. They will also discuss the importance of institutional support in enabling them to provide maximum benefits to the residents and states they serve.

Objectives
Participants will become conversant in the complete spectrum of NARR affiliates’ activities that benefit residents and communities.
Participants will be able to explain to external stakeholders how properly supported affiliate organizations enhance recovery and community life throughout their service areas.
Participants will be empowered to become more involved and effective in the essential work of affiliate organizations.
