For Immediate Release: 6/17/2011

The New Jersey Association of Community Providers (NJACP) recently hosted its 12th Annual “Community STARS” Dinner where one of Alternatives’ own, Heidi, received an award! The NJACP is a dynamic collection of support providers dedicated to advancing the quality of services to enrich lives and build futures to support thousands of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They present the STARS Award to individuals who deserve recognition for the way that they meet the challenge they face in their everyday lives. Heidi was among thirty individuals representing several agencies statewide that were honored at the Community Stars Awards Dinner.

Heidi enjoys being involved. In her spare time she serves as a member of Alternatives’ Consumer Advisory Counsel, where she and other clients review and give their input on agency policies, procedures and events. Heidi is also an active member of her church and she is well-known in Somerville because of her participation in community events. One reason Heidi was nominated for a Community Stars Awards is because of the strength and drive she has shown in recent years to set personal goals regarding her health.

Heidi has flourished during her time with Alternatives and it is appropriate that she be recognized as a star for her bright personality and glowing achievements.
