Whereas, having a true heart for those people who are confined to their homes with disabilities, he worked to increase recreational opportunities and helped to initiate a "person-centered" focus to service delivery; and
Whereas, instrumental in establishing a comprehensive quality assurance system and risk management system, Mr. Jones ensured that the board and its programs would be run safely and efficiently; and
Whereas, always cognizant of the needs of others, Mr. Jones actively advocated increasing direct support staff wages in the organization by twenty percent in five years; and
