THE NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY PROVIDERS CONTINUED THE EXPERIENCE GROWTH IN 2024 BOTH IN TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP AND REVENUE. THE FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ADVOCACY FOR FUNDING FOR THE IDD COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT WAGE INCREASES (AND ALLEVIATE THE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE OF DSPS AS WELL AS KEEP UP WITH THE RISING COSTS OF HOUSING UTILITIES, FOOD AND GENERAL SUPPORTIVE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE IDD COMMUNITY. WHILE PROVIDING UNPRECEDENTED SUPPORT TO ITS MEMBERSHIP, NJACP ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE NJ DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND THE CONSORTIUM OF COUNTY COLLEGES ON A MULTI-YEAR GRANT AIMED AT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENTERING A "CARING FIELD" IN THE IDD COMMUNITY, WITH A FOCUS ON DSP RECRUITMENT IN YEARS 1-3. THE MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH INCLUDED TARGETED AT RISK HIGH SCHOOL UPPER CLASSMEN WHO WERE STRUGGLING TO STAY IN SCHOOL TO EARN THEIR DEGREE WHILE TRAINING IN THE DSP FIELD, INCLUDING JOB MENTORING, SHADOWING AND UPON GRADUATION, JOB PLACEMENT. ADDITIONALLY, ADULTS LOOKING TO GAIN OR CHANGE EMPLOYMENT WERE OFFERED FREE COLLEGE CREDITS AND TRAINING, INCLUDING A STIPEND, WITH JOB PLACEMENT UPON GRADUATION. NJACP HAS INCREASED ITS MEMBERSHIP ANNUALLY ATTRIBUTED IN LARGE PART TO THE SUPPORT AND SERVICES IT OFFERS. MEMBERS RECEIVE A COMPREHENSIVE ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER TWICE A WEEK THAT IS TIMELY AND RELEVANT AND IT REFLECTS INFORMATION AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL. THIS INFORMATION IS OF IMPORTANCE AS IT ASSISTS PROVIDERS WITH THE PLANNING AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, NJACP HAS FOCUSED ON BRINGING LEGISLATORS TO THE TABLE TO ENSURE THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT PROVIDERS OF SERVICES TO THE IDD COMMUNITY HAVE. PROVIDERS OF SERVICES TO THE INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COMMUNITY ARE INVALUABLE AND YET THEY CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH OVERLY BURDENSOME REGULATIONS, COSTS THAT HAVE OUTPACED REIMBURSEMENT RATE INCREASES AND A CHANGING SYSTEM THAT HAS CREATED UNNECESSARY ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS. NJACP PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF ITS MEMBERSHIP WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS THE IDD COMMUNITY AND THOSE BEING SERVED THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM A STRONG PROVIDER NETWORK. TOWARD THAT END, ADVOCACY IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF NJACP'S STRATEGIC AGENDA. SUCCESS CAN BE MEASURED, IN PART, BY THE NUMBER OF LEGISLATORS THAT HAVE VISITED WITH NJACP'S MEMBERS; MORE THAN 17 IN 2024. SUCH ATTENDANCE AND INTERACTION HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY THE VISIBILITY THAT NJACP HAS ACHIEVED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS; THAT HAS ALLOWED NJACP TO BECOME A VOICE THAT IS NOW BEING HEARD IN TRENTON. SUPPORTING NJACP'S MEMBERSHIP CAN ONLY SERVE TO SUPPORT THE CONSUMERS THEY SERVE. THIS EFFORT WILL ALWAYS BE A CRITICAL OBJECTIVE OF NJACP. 1538298 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NJ X COLLEEN B KLEPSER 6094061400 140 SCOTCH ROAD EWING NJ 08628 DERRY HOLLAND LCSW VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL DECKER TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA KUBISIAK SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN HANCOCK PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JOANNA MILLER MNM IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROLYN SUERO BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE HUTTON-ROSE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER RECTOR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AUDREY WINKLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB BACON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN WINER PHD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH DROBITBLAIR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 VALERIE SELLERS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 218116 0 48565 MAUREEN SHEA DIRECTOR OF GOVT AFFAIRS 40.00 X 100463 0 2721 318579 0 51286 2 0 1 0 0 529840 529840 MEMBERSHIP DUES 624190 886184 886184 CONFERENCE AND SPONSOR 624190 347880 347880 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS 624190 83453 83453 WORKSHOPS 624190 23059 23059 1340576 15204 15204 20186 20061 125 125 125 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 4086 4086 4086 1889831 1344662 0 15329 266682 234146 17068 15468 355597 312215 22758 20624 14681 12890 940 851 23278 20438 1490 1350 43187 37918 2764 2505 28918 25390 1851 1677 95406 83765 6106 5535 20000 17560 1280 1160 37784 33176 2418 2190 225 198 14 13 13411 11775 858 778 68153 59838 4362 3953 4568 4011 292 265 308863 271182 19767 17914 20116 17662 1287 1167 30823 27062 1973 1788 12778 11219 818 741 DSP PROJECT 336542 295484 21539 19519 LICENSES AND SUBSCRIPTI 48263 42375 3089 2799 BANK FEES 12154 10671 778 705 CREDIT LOSS EXPENSE 6663 6663 3030 2660 194 176 1751122 1538298 111646 101178 832778 720601 663512 718335 9304 235239 25879 20486 33844 1040896 406302 665417 634594 302353 2417432 2444910 40409 96913 755635 618364 475501 453500 1271545 1168777 X 1145887 1276133 1145887 1276133 2417432 2444910 138709 1922 -2535 -7850 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 89629 178824 95928 327670 529840 1221891 755029 905639 956284 1069582 1340576 5027110 844658 1084463 1052212 1397252 1870416 6249001 0 0 0 6249001 1405 44 87 87 15204 16827 1405 44 87 87 15204 16827 175 102981 2200 2750 4086 112192 846238 1187488 1054499 1400089 1889706 6378020 0.97980 0.97960 0.00260 0.00060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 22000 22000 1722459 1744459 237223 59306 0 0 149649 166450 189441 237223 742763 1114145 115380 119500 123993 22000 380873 37412 41613 47360 59306 185691 278537 102300 102300 541789 157975 383814 331078 192225 138853 30015 21090 8925 35714 35012 702 634594 X 1889218 1922 1922 1887296 2535 2535 1889831 1751122 0 1751122 0 1751122 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISION OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
