Core Values

The core values of ASPIRO serve as the foundation of the work we perform and how we conduct our business.
 
These values are our blueprint for interacting with others and employing strategies to advance ASPIRO's mission.
 
It's been said that the only constant is change.  In order to ensure that our compass continues to point the organization in the right direction we have updated our core values from time to time so we remain relevant.  Recently, we did just that.
 
I want to thank all my colleagues who shared valuable insights and advice as we thought about and wrote down our latest core values.  They appear below.
 
  • Respect .  We engage people with dignity and respect.  We view disability as part of the human experience.
  • Choice.  We believe one size does not fit all.  We support the choices people make to live happy, fulfilling lives.
  • Relationships.  We nurture relationships with others.  Our interactions are honest, supportive and full of *integrity.
  • The Little Things.  We do the little things that make a big difference.  We go the extra mile to provide the very best in all we do.
* ASPIRO was awarded the very first Ethics in Business Award from the American Foundation of Counseling Services in the nonprofit category.

May Madness!

The month of May has been so busy we have dubbed it May Madness!  

We kicked off the month with the fan favorite variety show, Tuesday Night Live.  
Our audiences enjoyed eighteen acts that crossed many genres of music e ntertainment including favorites from today and yesterday; "Uptown Girl," "I Can Make Your Hands Clap," "Sweet Caroline" and more.  

To the right, is the performance of "Stayin' Alive"  with (left to right)  Kalista, Darlene, Judy, Jeremy, Jessica and Marianna.

Many of our spring/summer outdoor activities began.  We are back volunteering outdoors at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens, our anglers are back visiting local fishing spots and we hit the links at Ledgeview Golf Course.  You'll find pictures from these events and more on our Facebook page.

Thank you to everyone who supported ASPIRO at the Thrivent Financial Shred Fest & Cookout, 7th Annual Dennis Rasmussen Memorial Bowl-A-Thon and the Cellcom Marathon.  Phew!  And May isn't even over yet!  
       
Doctors in Recital recently announced ASPIRO's Positive Parenting Program, th e Creative Skills class at Green Bay Area Public Schools' Washington Middle School, and Music for the Sake Of Music as the recipients of the 2018 concert proceeds.

Doctors in Recital will enter its twelfth year with the 2018 performance. Each act is headlined by an area physician with a passion for music, as well as a commitment to patient care. Many other area healthcare workers share the stage as back-up musicians or choir members. The 2018 performance will be at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 20, 2018.  Save the date!  Tickets will go on sale this autumn.
