Bonnie Connell
Mountain Home
Mission Statement:
My mission as a person centered planning specialist is to help build teams of committed people to forward the dreams of persons with disabilities. In addition, it is my mission to help the focus person to really think about what their dreams are, to state them in front of a group of people, who in turn will help them make those dreams come true. This process is completed in a caring, supportive and creative environment. I will be ready to modify those goals and dreams at any time as people grow and change.

Dawn Sauve
Boise
Mission Statement:
I believe that each of us has the capability and the responsibility to make the world a better place. One way to do that is by making small changes in our lives and helping others to do the same. If we all take a little responsibility and share the load, we can do great things--a little at a time. I think the key is making ripples, not waves. Small changes help make bigger ones, but waves can either help us get to where we're going faster or knock us off balance. I see person centered planning as a tool anyone can use. The idea is to take a look at the long-term dream and design plans and goals to make small, manageable steps toward that dream. Dreams and goals may change along the way, but the real goal is to always keep people moving forward and helping them grow as they learn more about themselves, their place in the community, and what they want for themselves. Being a part of that process is exciting and fulfilling!
