The Excellence Network (TEN)
The Excellence Network, commonly known as TEN, was created in 2012 through a collaboration of several County Boards of Developmental Disabilities and the Mid-East Ohio Regional Council of Governments (MEORC). The original goal of the group was to recognize providers who exceeded minimum state requirements and to share information that promotes the high quality service we support. Over the years the Excellence Network in Licking County has grown into an independent organization and its mission has evolved, thanks to the dedication of the leadership of local provider agencies. Today the group mainly functions as a support network, where diverse provider agencies can find common ground, learn together and be there for each other. Meetings are held at 10 a.m. on the third Friday of every month.
NOTE: The next TEN meeting is June 14, 2024 as we spend the next six months providing training for frontline provider staff. For more information, contact David McManus at David.Mcmanus@lcountydd.org.
The Excellence Network of Licking County believes in:
• Peer support. • Gathering together to share resources and best practices. • Promoting continuity through shared language. • Fostering collaboration instead of competition. • Promoting a passion for people. • Giving back to the community.
