This past year went by quickly as we expanded into new areas and strengthened our existing programs. We celebrated our successes and we came together to shoulder hardships when times were tough. While we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to celebrate the perseverance and resilience of ASPIRO people. Every day, in the midst of record COVID case counts across our community, our dedicated staff continue to come to work so they can be there for each other, the people we support, and their families.
If there is one thing we learned over the past two years it is that we can’t allow COVID to stop our progress. We know that being focused on the future, and not only the present, helps us stay inspired and hopeful. Recently we entered into a partnership with O’Connor Connective. We will be working together to refresh our brand, create new marketing materials, explore new logo designs, and create a catalog of visual assets. As we met with the O’Connor Connective team last week they asked us how ASPIRO will be changing over the coming years. At first, we dug into a discussion of particulars and programs but what we came away with was the fact that one thing will never change. No matter what our supports look like, they will always be designed in the service of helping people live their best lives. The rest is all details.
