How COBAC Members Support COI Efforts
The members of COBAC are a group of volunteers who are interested in assisting persons with disabilities in becoming active and contributing members of their community while ensuring that quality assurance is maintained throughout the local program in their area. Because COBAC members come from diverse professional backgrounds, they offer immeasurable assistance to Community Options and the individuals we support with job placement and development, access to community resources, marketing, financial advice, fundraising and other activities that lead to the visibility and participation of individuals with disabilities within their communities.
All COBAC members provide support through contacts they have within the community and their desire to support each individual in building a full life in the community. In addition to this, representatives from specific types of businesses lend support through their particular expertise. Some examples are:
Accountants Assist with fiscal and financial matters Advertisers/Marketers Assist with public relations and promotion of events Attorneys Give advice and assistance with legal issues such as consumer rights and housing contracts Bankers Access to banking services, mortgages Construction Contractors Advise and assist with construction and Renovations, give advice on budgetary preparation for capital projects, lend assistance with repairs and maintenance of existing properties Educators Access to training and educational opportunities; resources for volunteers and interns Fraternal Organizations Access to local businesses; resources for volunteers Hotels/Restaurants Provide locations for COBAC meetings, networking and/or fundraising events; job opportunities Medical Professionals Access to medical services; assistance with recruitment of support staff (nurses), access to training opportunities Realtors Location and acquisition of residential/commercial propertyMore opportunities with Community Options, Inc. of Pittsburgh
