Thank you for a job well done working with us on accreditation. Your assistance is a critical component in making sure we are on the right path to a 3-year accreditation.
Michael Zinno
Superintendent, JCBDD
We value our partnership with MEORC and what they do for us. This project has been one of the most valuable. Not only was it timely, as we are making more intentional efforts to support providers, but Pennie brings the ability to connect with them in the ways they respond to. She is a valuable resource for them, which is exactly what we are wanting.
David Couch
Superintendent, Perry County Board of DD
I just wanted to let you know that your staff has been of great assistance to us as we prepare for our Accreditation scheduled for next week. They do a great job and need to be commended!

Kathy Shesky
Muskingum County Board of DD

Marianne Mader
Superintendent Holmes County Board of DD
MEORC provides us with professional, reliable, quality services that benefit our operations and the people we support.
Jason L. Umstot
Superintendent, Licking County Board of Developmental Disabilities
I have worked with MEORC for over 20 years as a superintendent. MEORC has assisted us by providing services at a reasonable cost which we could not do ourselves. They provide a level of expertise which we cannot often find in a small or medium sized county, or if we could find it we would not be able to afford it. Working with MEORC has helped us provide better services to people.
David Couch
Superintendent at Hocking and Perry Counties
