Provider Membership
Provider Membership is for businesses that provide services directly to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. If your agency bills the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, or a local county board of developmental disabilities for services provided by your agency, you are eligible for a Provider Membership. Provider Member dues are calculated based on a percentage of your agency's estimated gross revenue from supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Public Entity Membership is designed specifically for Ohio's local county boards of developmental disabilities and regional Council of Governments (COG).
There are three options under the Public Entity Membership:
Level 1 Membership - $1,500 |
|
Public entity Members enjoy exclusive benefits, including:
|
Level 2 Membership - $3,000 |
|
Public entity Members enjoy exclusive benefits, including:
|
Level 3 Membership - $10,000 |
|
This option gives you a Level 2 membership and allows you to offer a 1-year membership to 3 Providers in your county (the providers you select cannot be current members of OPRA). The Providers you select will have full access to all that OPRA provides including Advocacy, Information, Resources, and Technical Assistance. For Sponsored Providers, please contact Sonya Summers at ssummers@opra.org to submit your provider agency's information to be added to the OPRA Membership Roster. |
Associate Membership is open to businesses providing products or services to organizations supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Individuals and families with I/DD are also welcome to join.
Annual dues are $500 for businesses and $75 for individuals and families not employed by a provider organization.
