Each year NYSARC, Inc. Chapters are encouraged to recognize an individual, corporation or business in New York State that has demonstrated outstanding support in providing job opportunities for people who have intellectual and other developmental disabilities.  The NYSARC, Inc. Scholarship and Awards Committee selects a recipient from each of the four NYSARC, Inc. regions for the Employer of the Year Award based on information provided by the nominating Chapter.

Even though only one nominee from each region is chosen to receive the top honor, NYSARC, Inc. recognizes all the nominees who have provided employment opportunities.  We applaud these employers for leading the way in ensuring equal employment opportunities and enriching the lives of people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities through gainful employment.

Please note that in 2008 the Supported Work Provider of the Year has been combined with the Employer of the Year Award and will no longer be a separate award.
