All communities include people with disabilities as members. They are people of worth and value. They belong to families and neighborhoods. They are citizens, fellow workers, and parents. Take Nate Brierly, for example. Nate is a forklift driver at NIVC Services and the father of Myah who is in fourth grade. Nate is proud of his daughter and happy to be working in Mason City. He can do any job in the woodshop when needed. Four years ago he was in a car accident and suffered many serious injuries including a traumatic brain injury. He has learned ways to adapt so that he can still strive to perform his best at work. “I have been a hard worker my whole
life. I like to get things as close to perfect as possible, “ said Nate. “Here at NIVC Services the staff members are awesome at teaching you jobs and really helping people learn.” “Why work? Why not work?” Nate replied. Nate is happy to contribute to a high quality of service in the production areas of the Work Center.
