As a university educator in nonprofit management and experienced board member, I came to the Stone Belt Arc board with high expectations. The board takes its fiduciary duties very seriously; we meet all of the governance standards of multiple accrediting agencies. Board meetings are open to the public and "transparency" is written into the bylaws. The staff have long tenures within the organization and the senior staff, in fact, are considered experts in the field statewide. While every organization can become even better -- and Stone Belt is no exception here -- my gifts of time, money and expertise have always been used appropriately and carefully.

Stone Belt is a great place for people who have intellectual disabilities. It offers Day Program resources, a workshop for clients to work for a local pharmaceutical company, job coaches, residential facilities and individual home assistance. Staffing ranges from dealing with the intellectual disabilities and other aspects, such as mental health, counseling, physical disabilities, special diets, etc. Those who work for Stone Belt have huge hearts and love what they do. Each day is different and though some days can be a struggle, it makes it all worth it when a client hugs you and smiles, and says "you're a very wonderful person."
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
everyday life. Monday through Friday my time is devoted to Stone Belt, and more if they need me. My clients are like extended family to me. Every smile I receive makes it worth the tougher times.

I'm not sure. I haven't worked for the company too long, but if I could make overall changes, I would want more recognition for places like this, and hope that the government would quit cutting the funding for places such as this.

As a board member and parent, I know Stone Belt provides critically-important services to our most vulnerable citizens. For over 50 years, Stone Belt has treated people with developmental disabilities as individuals. With approximately 20,000 families on the waiting list for Medicaid services in Indiana, it is a relief that our family is fortunate enough to receive such high-quality services.
