Dear Members and Participants of the Arc:
Thank you to everyone who provided input regarding our proposed name change. We received overwhelming
support for making a name change, with many individuals sharing their personal experiences and stories
related to what the name change means to them. We value your input and the Arc Executive Board will use all
of the ideas that you shared along with your votes as we move forward with our name change.
Over the next few months, the Executive Board will work closely with staff to plan for the roll out of the new name. The plan is to
have a final decision about the name made by the end of the summer with plans to roll out the new name by the end of the year,
including notifying membership, stakeholders, and the public, along with updating all materials, signage, and online information.
Again, thank you for all of your input. Based on the responses, it is clearly the right time to make this name change. We appreciate
your support as we move forward with this important project.
Sincerely,
The Executive Board
