Master Plan Public Input Meeting – November 18th at 6:30pm

California’s Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) has initiated a process to develop a Master Plan for Developmental Services.  The Master Plan will “seek to create and strengthen bridges that connect the developmental services system to other critical systems” and increase our system’s “ability to provide culturally responsive services and strengthen the accountability and standardization of the system so that it is easier for individuals and their families to navigate no matter where they live in California.”  For more information about the Master Plan process, please visit https://www.chhs.ca.gov/home/master-plan-for-developmental-services/.

 

NBRC’s Board of Directors wants to make sure that people in our community have the opportunity to provide input to the Master Plan.  Therefore, we have invited Victor Duron, the facilitator of the Master Plan process, to meet with our Board on November 18th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm on Zoom.  Mr. Duron will provide an overview of the Master Plan process and gather input from our board members and community.  We encourage people we serve and their families to attend.

Michael’s Milestone: 25 Years of Advocacy and Care

We are delighted to celebrate Michael Ursini’s 25-year milestone at our regional center. As a Service Coordinator for clients aged 23 and older, Michael plays a vital role in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their lives. His enthusiasm in enhancing the lives of these adults is evident in his daily interactions and the care he provides.

Michael’s journey with us began after earning his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Communications from the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, California. This educational background laid a solid foundation for his career, particularly when he transitioned from working in the mental health field where he gained 4 years of experience securing stable living arrangements for individuals in need.

In his role as a Service Coordinator, Michael thrives on the dynamic nature of his work. He finds joy in collaborating with clients and their legal representatives to explore and implement the best options available. The services offered by the regional center, such as providing available community living options, is an area where Michael’s passion shines brightly. The satisfaction witnessing the positive changes in the lives of individuals we serve is a driving force behind his work.

Outside of his professional life, Michael is equally vibrant. He is an avid cyclist, a guitar enthusiast, and an entrusted volunteer at his church. His two cats, Mr. Bigglesworth and Pap (short for Pappy, reflecting her cheerful disposition), are beloved companions that bring joy to his personal time.

Michael’s positive attitude and camaraderie make him a cherished colleague. His 25 years of service not only reflect his longevity but also his ongoing dedication. We are grateful for Michael’s contributions to our team and the individuals we serve and looking forward to many more years of his invaluable work!
