NSS-NTEC ALLIANCE
In 1997, there was the emergence of an alliance with Niagara Training & Employment Agency (NTEC) as the NTEC executive director assumed a dual role of leadership between the two organizations.
On January 27, 1999 and February 4, 1999, the Board of Directors of Niagara Support Services and the Board of Trustees of Niagara Training & Employment Agency, respectively, formally adopted the following Statements, and Principles and Values. The official board document was signed by then NSS President, K. Andrew Stinson, and NTEC Chair, Donald L. Reilly (now deceased.)
