As a human service agency providing supportive services to adults and children with developmental, intellectual, psychological, and physical disabilities throughout Massachusetts BAMSI has a history of advocacy on behalf of marginalized populations.
The Association of Developmental Disability Providers (ADDP) recently honored BAMSI with its 2022 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award at its annual meeting in Newton. Members of BAMSI's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Accountability committee (DEIJA) were on hand for the ceremony, including CEO, Peter Evers. Gwen Broadway, Director of Scheduling and Staffing, was selected to receive the award on BAMSI's behalf, citing her advocacy and commitment to the work.
"We are going to keep doing the work!" exclaimed Broadway in her brief acceptance speech. Gwen has spearheaded an initiative at BAMSI, affectionately called "The Roadshow", which works to connect the efforts of DEIJA to the everyday lives of employees in the field.
