Effect Change: Committees, Work Groups, and Task Forces

Sharpen Your Skills: Education and Training
With over 700 attendees and 70 workshops, the annual RCPA Conference, held in the fall, is the premier educational and networking event for rehabilitation, vocational, mental health, intellectual/developmental disability, and drug and alcohol providers in Pennsylvania. RCPA regional meetings and specialized seminars also provide members the opportunity to attend events closer to home.
Keep Informed: Member Resources and Service
Getting information quickly is essential to staying informed and competitive. RCPA’s publications, including the RCPA Quarterly Advisor newsletter and issue-specific Daily Updates and Alerts, inform members about changes and opportunities affecting the Pennsylvania rehabilitation and community provider community. The RCPA website provides all of this information in a convenient format, with new information on a daily basis, and current industry news can also be found on our Facebook page, LinkedIn page, and X (Twitter) feed.
Have a Voice: RCPA Public Policy and Government Relations
RCPA’s reputation for integrity, as well as the recognition that it represents the entire human services field, has resulted in valuable relationships with state officials. These relations have helped to present the association as a resource to legislators and administrative staff, offering the “breadth and depth” which sets us apart from similar organizations.
The Collective
The Collective is a peer-driven leadership initiative developed through a partnership between RCPA and The Ramsay Group, designed to create a trusted environment for human services CEOs and senior leaders to connect, collaborate, and solve shared challenges. Participants are individually selected and thoughtfully placed into curated teams to ensure meaningful dialogue and value for both the individual and their organization.
The Collective was formally launched in September 2025 at the RCPA Annual Conference, where the three founding CEO teams met in person and began building relationships that have continued through ongoing discussions and strategic collaboration between meetings. The next cycle of meetings will begin in June 2026, include an in-person session at the RCPA Annual Conference in September, and continue throughout the year. RCPA members receive a reduced rate to participate. For more information about The Collective, please contact Diana Ramsay, President of The Ramsay Group.
RCPA HealthCare Captive
Healthcare costs remain one of the most pressing challenges facing RCPA members. Medical expenses continue to rise far faster than inflation, fueled by higher utilization, more severe high-cost claims, and ongoing volatility across the healthcare system. Many employers saw larger-than-expected increases last year, and forecasts suggest these pressures will continue. RCPA is working with Corporate Benefits Consultants, Inc., helping members explore practical strategies to take greater control of healthcare spending, reduce cost volatility, and strengthen employee benefits without painful trade-offs while learning from a community of employers who are actively transforming their approach to healthcare benefits. For more information on the HealthCare Captive, please contact, Greg Robick, President, Corporate Benefits Consultants, Inc.
