Corporate Structure

Included under the Corporate Structure tab are resources to support the organization in identifying and developing new corporate structures. Resources in the Corporate Structure domain should be shared with all stakeholders as a means to provide information about transformation and encourage conversation and creativity in the implementation and attainment of transformation goals. This information would be particularly valuable to agency leadership as they make decisions about for-profit vs. not-for-profit status and consider the tailoring of the agency’s structure to support the employment and community inclusion of the individuals involved in their agency’s programs and services.
