Jim Caffry of Waitsfield recently joined the Board of Directors Champlain Community Services (CCS), Inc., a Colchester-based nonprofit serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Caffry is the parent of a son with autism, and an attorney with a law practice in Waterbury (Caffry Law, PLLC) focused on providing special needs planning to Vermonters with disabilities and their families. He is member of the Special Needs Alliance, a national association of special needs planning attorneys. Caffry also serves on the Board of the Mad River Valley Community Fund, and was previously a member of the Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council.
CCS offers one-to-one employment, high school-to-work transition, home and shared living, and community supports to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chittenden County and throughout northern Vermont.
The agency’s supported employment program, Way2Work has received national recognition, and its emerging School2Work program earned third place in the recent “Build a Stronger Vermont” contest through KeyBank.
