The DCA’s board of directors is looking for a few good direct care workers.
As the national advocacy voice of direct care workers in long-term care, we’re dead serious about developing direct care worker leaders who can lead our fight for more respect and better wages, benefits, and training. Part of that process is making sure that we have a strong, diverse group of direct care workers on our board of directors who can represent the needs and opinions of our workforce.
This month for the first time, our board is being led by two direct care workers – myself and my colleague Tracy Dudzinski. Tracy and I are part of a direct care worker subcommittee that has been working on how to get more workers on our board from more types of long-term care settings. We’re looking for strong leaders with a passion for the work they do and a strong desire to improve the job and its image nationwide. We also want workers from all different walks of life, ethnic backgrounds, and parts of the country.
If that sounds like you, please read my letter of invitation, fill out an application, and send it back to Leonila Vega by January 31. And if it sounds like someone you know, please tell them about this opportunity and encourage them to apply.
