Looking Presentable

Part of our goal with our SmartHome project is to educate others in the field of serving individuals with intellectual disabilities and related issues about the amazing potential for technology to improve the lives of those we serve. We have worked hard at this, and members of the SmartHome team have traveled across the state and even the country to give presentations on this ambitious and unique project.

Here’s just a few presentation we have scheduled for the next few months:

On April 30, SmartHome guru Greg Wellems will provide an educational session on SmartHome Medical and Nursing Supports at the Colorado Association of Developmental Disability Nurses 2010 Spring Education Conference in Lafayette, CO.

On May 12, SmartHome project manager Sterling Wind will be presenting our SmartHomes Project at the National Association of Housing & Redevelopment Officials Colorado Conference in Pueblo, CO. He will be a member of their “Aging Gracefully in Place” panel.

Keeping busy, Sterling will then turn right around and head to Keystone, CO, to present May 13 and 14 at the Colorado Association of Homes & Services for the Aging Conference. The presentation title will be “Lean & Green: Breaking the Residential Service Delivery Routine.” Joining Sterling will be Hanni Ruehrdanz, Imagine!’s Staffed Sites Manager.

May 20 – 22 Greg will be back on the circuit, giving a presentation on the history and future of the SmartHome in Dublin, OH at the Ohio Association of County Boards Serving Individuals with Developmental Disabilities Spring Conference.

On June 17, SmartHome team member Fred Hobbs will be presenting at the Alliance June Training Summit in Fort Collins, CO. His presentation will be: Getting Social: Why Service Organizations Need To Embrace Social Media.
