SPWG Service Providers Working Group
The SPWG is an advisory group to the Dignity Fund Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC)
The Dignity Fund Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC) has created a Service Providers Working Group (SPWG) to advise the OAC on funding priorities, policy development, the planning cycle, evaluation design and plans, and any other issues of concern to the Working Group related to the Dignity Fund or the responsibilities of the Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS). The SPWG engages a cross-section of service providers in providing information, education, and consultation to the OAC.
Membership in the SPWG is open to any organization currently and actively providing services to older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers. Meetings of the SPWG are open to the public. The Service Provider Working Group is jointly coordinated between The Dignity Fund Coalition and CASE (the Coalition of Agencies Serving the Elderly) and meetings are alternately scheduled during regular Dignity Fund Coalition or CASE meetings. For information about upcoming SPWG meetings, see the Dignity Fund Coalition website or sign up for the newsletter: https//www.sfdignityfund.org/
“The SPWG is led by four co-chairs. Current co-chairs are:
- Fiona Hinze, Independent Living Resource Center
- Judith Dancer, Sequoia Living
- Marie Jobling, Community Living Campaign
- Christina Irving, Family Caregiver Alliance
