Dear Editor,
After thoughtful planning and reflection, The Arc of Mohave County is proud to announce its transition to a new chapter. Moving forward wewill be known as NAVA — Nurturing Abilities, Vocations and Achievement.
This change represents an exciting new chapter in the organization’s continued commitment to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
While the name is changing, the heart of the mission, purpose and commitment remain unwavering: serving with compassion, dignity, and purpose.
The name NAVA was chosen intentionally for both its mission-centered acronym and its deeper meaning. Derived from a word meaning new beginnings, renewal, and fresh growth, NAVA reflects the organization’s vision for the future.
As NAVA, we are embracing a future that reflects who we are today and the expanded vision we have for the individuals we serve. Our commitment to advocacy, inclusion, and opportunity remains stronger than ever.
The transition to NAVA captures the organization’s desire to establish a unique identity that more clearly represents its evolving vision, local impact, and future direction.
Each member and family can expect the same dedicated leadership, compassionate service, and commitment throughout this transition.
“Building confidence, creating opportunity, and empowering every journey.”
Marla Brotherton
