The following link(s) will open in one new tab or window. Since 1985, the New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC) has conducted its Achievement Awards program to promote public awareness of the capabilities, value, and potential of persons with developmental disabilities. The DDPC Achievement Awards program recognizes individuals and organizations in the community who have provided support and assistance to New Yorkers with developmental disabilities. Nominations for the DDPC Achievement Awards are sought from the developmental disabilities service system and the general public. The criteria for each award category is established by the DDPC Consumer Caucus Members. The review and selection process is also conducted by the DDPC Consumer Caucus Members. In 2010, we celebrate the 24th DDPC Achievement Awards. The Members and Staff of the DDPC are proud to recognize extraordinary individuals, and organizations, for their unyielding support and assistance to all New Yorkers with developmental disabilities and their families. For the very first time the DDPC Achievement Award nomination form will be available here and the DDPC website, no general mailing of the nomination form will be made. The DDPC has taken this step to keep in line with the need to reduce and keep to a minimum printing and mailing costs within State agencies. We ask that all who are considering a nomination (s) to please download the nomination form. The form is also available on our NYS DDPC site. Please be sure to follow all instructions and fill in the form legibly and with any appropriate attachments and please be sure that the nomination form (s) reach the DDPC on or before April 7th, 2010…NO nominations will be accepted after that date. If you have any questions regarding the Achievement Awards please feel free to contact, Tom Lee, DDPC Public Information Officer, at 518-402-3486, or, tlee@ddpc.state.ny.us.
