NISHNA PRODUCTIONS, INC.
RECEIVES THE PRESTIGIOUS AMERISTAR “STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY AWARD”

Nishna Productions, Inc. was one of the three non-profit Southwest Iowa organizations to receive the prestigious, annual Ameristar “Strengthening the Community Award”. The award and check for $1,000 was presented to NPI’s Executive Director, Sherri Clark, at a luncheon in the Riverside Room of the Ameristar Casino on Thursday, October 15, 2009.

The selection criteria for the award included some of the following elements: management excellence, board leadership, community outreach and collaboration, challenges overcome and quality programs.

Ameristar Advisory Committee Board member, Jacky Adams, stated when presenting the award that, “ Nishna Productions has been quietly building successful lives and making a positive impact in Southwest Iowa communities for over 35 years.

National review organizations, such as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and Ability One, a national program that promotes the employment of persons with disabilities, have awarded the agency with the highest possible achievement awards for services provided, management excellence, and agency performance for the past 24 years.

Major emphasis by the agency has been service to the community. The organization employs 150 individuals and serves 200 people with disabilities. In both Red Oak and Shenandoah, employees and individuals with disabilities take part in a variety of chamber activities such as helping with plantings in city parks, assisting with monthly chamber festival activities, and assisting with special Christmas drives. The agency has also initiated special donation drives to the Food Pantries in all of its service areas. These facts are evidence that Nishna Productions, Inc. has taken pride in strengthening their communities through community involvement.”

Testimonials:

"Since Angie moved to Red Oak and has been with the program at Nishna Productions, Inc., many things became positive in her life. She made a lot of new friends - she lives independently in her own home. She has a job that she enjoys and they enjoy her. She has mastered many of the tasks at the Pizza Ranch in Red Oak and is always willing to work at any time they need her. We, as parents, have marveled at how independent she has become with the help of the staff from Nishna Productions, Inc. We are very proud of her and what she has accomplished in the last years. We see such happiness and independence
in her life."
