NIAGARA network H H H 70 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com “Since my involvement with Niagara Network, I have expanded my knowledge with my community resources, and have made great partnerships that have led to learning about services that support my employees, resources that support my clients, and connections that have assisted me in my personal life. Coming up on 18 years of working with persons with physical disabilities, it has proven to be one of the top-notch networking relationships I have encountered statewide.” – Kristy Dovichow, Service Coordination Resources, Inc. “The Niagara Network has been a valuable asset to our business. The wealth of knowledge and experience that the members of this group have helps us find the what we need and it’s only a phone call away.” – Steve Easly, Healthcare Solutions “Recently, a fellow member approached me asking for help for her client. She provided her own services for him but also needed others to help in a variety of ways. This is the beauty of Niagara Network. When a client asks for help from one member, you also get the help you need from all members.” – Terry Pylartz, Meals on Wheels H “Having been a member of Niagara Network for nearly 5 years, I have been blessed to have made the friendships and connections I have made with partner agencies in the Erie Community. Having the opportunity to collaborate with these colleagues has made my job easier and has most definitely improved the lives of the consumers with disabilities we serve, since we are able to connect them with services we might otherwise not have known about.” – Mike Fiorelli, Community Resources for Independence H “My father, Floyd J. Kuzdzal was one of the original members and provided the group with printing and promotional expertise. Having been responsible for the creation of the group’s membership directory has given me a unique, long term view of the growth and diversity of the group. Back then, the entire membership list would fit on one side of a half sheet of paper. Today, a multi- page, full color brochure highlights Niagara Network members.” – Todd W. Kuzdzal, Proforma Bollheimer & Associates H “Niagara Network is an ideal way to make and maintain connections with other professionals in the human service industry. The meetings are informative, productive, and also enjoyable! There is an atmosphere of mutual support and respect among the attendees.” – Nadine Clement, Clinical Referral Manager, Fairview, Edinboro,Corry, Warren, Bradford, and Sweden Valley Manors, HCF Management Inc.
