What began as a Occupation Training Center soon transformed into its own entity with MDI Social Enterprise founder, John DuRand, leading the way in 1964.

At MDI people with disabilities have inclusive employment opportunities and all employees are respected. It’s important to us that people with disabilities find inclusive jobs where they can gain purpose, independence and empowerment.

 

The basic principle of this model is that a business can be more successful with a social purpose. We also know that doing so improves society as a whole, with more people working, paying taxes and contributing to our economy.

 

 

“Trish Wehling became involved with MADD after the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Jordan, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2013 at just 18 years old. Since joining MADD as a volunteer in 2018, Trish has transformed unimaginable grief into purpose, becoming one of the organization’s most dedicated advocates and supporters.In honor of Jordan’s memory, Trish founded Team Run for Jordan, which has become the largest Move with MADD walk team in the nation and region and has raised more than $100,000 to support MADD’s mission. Her fundraising efforts help provide critical victim services to families navigating the devastation of impaired driving and support prevention efforts to stop these tragedies before they happen.Through her unwavering advocacy, volunteerism, and commitment to honoring Jordan’s legacy, Trish continues to remind others that impaired driving deaths are 100% preventable, and that together, we can make a difference.”
