We are proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 MOHR Statewide Direct Support Professional (DSP) Awards, recognizing six exceptional professionals whose dedication, creativity, and commitment are helping people with disabilities lead fuller, more connected, and more self-directed lives. Selected from nominations submitted by disability service providers across Minnesota, this year’s recipients demonstrate excellence in employment services, community engagement, person-centered support, innovation, leadership, and advocacy.

MOHR is pleased to recognize Steve Howard’s outstanding contributions with the 2026 Legacy Leader Award. The Legacy Leader Award recognizes individuals with 20+ years of dedicated service in disability services who have played a pivotal role in shaping the MOHR association. This award honors retiring or recently retired longtime MOHR members who have made profound contributions to the association’s mission and impact. Over his 35-year career in disability services, Howard has served as a leader, educator, advocate, and inspiration.

National Direct Support Professional Recognition Week (September 13th - 19th, 2026) is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the dedicated, hardworking direct support professionals.
