These three incredible team members were honored with this year’s Firefly DSP of the Year awards, and while we’re thrilled to celebrate them, we also know they represent something bigger.

Every Direct Support Professional plays a vital role in the lives of the people we serve. Their work may not always make headlines, but it changes lives every single day through patience, advocacy, connection, and care.

To every DSP: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re so glad you’re part of the Firefly family. 💛

What a night! ✨

Firefly’s 2025 DSP of the Year Awards brought together team members from across the state to celebrate the work of our Direct Support Professionals: the advocates, mentors, and everyday heroes who walk alongside the people we serve every single day.

We selected three category winners from more than 30 incredible nominees and named one overall winner:

🎉 Connor Williamson – our 2025 DSP of the Year and Firefly’s nominee for the national ANCOR American Network of Community Options and Resources DSP of the Year Award!

We’re proud of every single honoree and grateful for the energy, joy, and heart they bring to this work.

🍎 The Joplin Day Program made some core memories during Apple Week!

“Direct Support Professionals are the backbone of community disability services. Day in and day out, they support people in leading full, meaningful lives.” — Celesta Hartgraves, President.

Our Firefly DSPs walk alongside people with disabilities every day, supporting them in doing what matters most, whether at home, at work, or out in the world. They are trusted advocates, mentors, and everyday heroes.

This fall, we’re honoring their impact through the Second Annual Firefly DSP of the Year Awards.

We’ll be sharing stories, photos, and reflections from the event, as well as why this work matters so deeply to the people we serve, their families, and our communities.

We hope you’ll follow along and help us recognize this extraordinary group!
