STATE ASSOCIATION NEWS
 
After working through the IRS application process for several years, the Rhode Island Service Coordinator Collaborative (RISCC) is officially a 501(c)(3) organization. 
 
We thank our President and Board Members for all the dedicated effort they put in to meeting this goal for our state association.  RISCC is also proud to announce a new partnership with Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island. 
 
Through this new collaboration Neighborhood Health Plan of RI is generously funding 10 year-long RISCC membership scholarships at a value of $1,250.
 
The scholarships are for RI RSCs in urban areas who would not otherwise be able to join the organization and attend the valuable trainings and events we offer. 
 
We would like to express our gratitude to our friends at Neighborhood Health Plan of RI for all of their support.
