We as SIRS’ Board of Directors believe that life is a journey to be enjoyed to it’s fullest. The events and challenges we encounter along the way create the fabric of our lives. Life is about the people we meet, the relationships we establish, the lessons learned, and those we touch without ever knowing. We believe all individuals, regardless of disability, should have the opportunity to experience the full journey. One with risks, failures, successes, joy, sadness, new relationships, broken relationships, first jobs, first homes, and CHOICES. Join us in SIRS’ journey, our personal journey, and the journeys of so many served. To meet SIRS’ Board of Directors please click on a links below.
