Welcome to DDAWNY’s newest Committee.
The purpose of the DDAWNY POMs Committee is to provide networking opportunities for agencies whose goals are to instill the Personal Outcome Measures tool into their work. We value best practices as we learn about what matters to people.
With the support of CQL (The Council on Quality and Leadership) we maintain certification to ensure we are at the forefront of providing the best services to the people we support. The POMs Committee:
- Provides ongoing POM training throughout western New York at respective and participating agencies (see calendar below for training dates/training availability)
- Shares resources for best practices as we apply the POMs tool
- Advocates for changes made by New York State and OPWDD that will enhance the lives of the people we support
- Conducts outreach and education to participating affiliates regarding the use of POMs
The members of this Committee are those who are acting members of Person-Centered Planning within their organizations and/or current POM Trainers.
