Wingin’ It LLC Wins Employer of the Year Award

W

ingin’ It, LLC’s location in Decatur, Alabama, was awarded
The Arc of Morgan County’s 2014 Employer of the Year
Award for its work with disabled employees. The Arc of Morgan
County is a chapter of the national Arc, a nonprofit organization
funded by United Way that is devoted to improving the quality of
life for individuals with cognitive, intellectual and developmental
disabilities. The Arc aims to work with disabled individuals to
help teach life skills and place them in the workforce.
The store collaborates with the Centers for the Developmentally Disabled North Central Alabama’s (CDD NCA, Inc.)
supported employment program, which is focused on providing
career skills and training to individuals who are mentally and/
or physically challenged and have been determined to be
eligible for services by the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services. The program helps qualified individuals gain
entrance and acceptance into the competitive job market. Each
person receives personal and career development based on
their unique needs.
Mark Turner became an employee of the Decatur restaurant through the CDD NCA’s program and is also a member of
People First of Alabama. People First is a group of individuals
with developmental disabilities living in Alabama communities
dedicated to making their dreams happen by having choices
and control over their lives. Turner spoke during People First
meetings about the love of his job, how well his employers
and coworkers treated him, and how they have helped him

to afford to do things he
is passionate about, such
as being a member of the
Special Olympics Horse
Riding team. Several board
members of People First
are also members of the
Arc, and moved by Turner’s
