The goal of Success Unlimited is to achieve the highest degree of

independence possible for each individual while offering adequate support to maintain long-term employment and independent living. Consumers and/or their representatives are provided opportunities to shape the direction of agency services. This is accomplished by various means including consumer representatives on the board of directors and satisfaction surveys. Success Unlimited, Inc. actively recruits persons with disabilities or consumer representatives to serve on the board of directors. This offers the best opportunity to identify the needs of individuals who are currently recipients of services as well as those who may have future needs. Consumers and/or consumer representatives will comprise one-third of the governing board. This will ensure consumer input that values the perspective of those individuals receiving services. Annual surveys of consumers served provide feedback to the agency on positive and negative aspects of training and support services and are evaluated to determine ways to change & enhance service provision.
