DCA board member John Booker launched the Indiana Care-Givers Association November 12th in South Bend. Booker, who is the Executive Director of the National Association of Direct Care Workers of Color, brought together a broad “coalition” of advocates, providers and direct care workers at the association’s kick-off event. The event was featured in the South Bend Tribune the next day.
