ODP to Host Provider Innovation Series Informational Webinar on December 2

Message from the Office of Developmental Programs:

The Office of Developmental Programs is excited to announce the launch of a new Provider Innovation Series — an exclusive opportunity for the Provider community to showcase and be recognized for their innovations, new and ongoing, in support of the everyday lives of those we serve. We believe in the power of peer learning and support, and we look forward to showcasing your innovative practices that drive quality.

This exciting new series will premiere during the Everyday Lives conference (May 12–14, 2026), as selected Providers will have the opportunity to join ODP’s Director of Training & Communications, Rochelle Troutman, to present their innovative program, policy, or practice to their peers.

Presenters will also be celebrated for their innovation and leadership in the field with a showcase on MyODP News, a certificate of appreciation, and a digital badge, which can be added to email signatures and displayed on their website and social media.

Join Rochelle Troutman, along with ODP’s Deputy Secretary, Kristin Ahrens for an informational webinar to learn more about this opportunity on December 2 from 9:00 am – 9:30 am EST. The webinar will be recorded and made available on MyODP. Selected presenter(s) will be announced in early February and will receive support as they prepare.

Don’t miss this opportunity to demonstrate your impact! We encourage all Provider organizations, large and small, to consider what innovations they may like to share, and look forward to both learning more about — and sharing with others — your innovative work!

Proposals will be accepted from December 1 — January 5. ODP will select providers to present based on the provider’s innovative practices, and encourages providers to use ISAC Recommendations and Strategies to identify areas of innovation.
