On Thursday, August 21st, Indiana State Representative Robin Shackleford visited Crossroads Industrial Services, which resides in her District 98. Representative Shackleford has been the District’s elected official since 2012, and her visit on Thursday was a great opportunity for Crossroads Industrial Services to inform her about our business, what it does, and how it impacts the employees that work here.

Representative Shackleford wrote,
“Thanks for taking the time to provide a wonderful and informative business tour. During my visit, I couldn’t help but to appreciate all the efforts Crossroads Industrial Services is doing to cultivate opportunities for Hoosier adults and children with disabilities.
Learning your business goals and highlights is valued input. For instance, Crossroads does a great job innovating and creating new ways connecting entrepreneurs to income generation for disabled adults and children. Also, life skills are positively reinforced by implementing initiatives making sure work is more than “just a job.”
My goal as your State Representative is to give vocational services a voice within the Indiana General Assembly. By taking the time to discuss your goals and concerns, it helps me form additional legislative groundwork to improve the quality education and communities.”
We appreciate Representative Shackleford’s support and will continue to invite other Representatives and Senators to Crossroads Industrial Services to see the great work that we do, which also helps provide and increases employment for adults with disabilities.
Today’s post was written by Anne Traub, Manager of Human Resources at Crossroads Industrial Services.
