Our events bring together advocates, families, chapters, members and professionals in the intellectual and developmental disability community. Resources for the media are available in our newsroom.
Media Matters: Please contact Elizabeth Moran, Executive Director, at (303) 864-9334 x 12 or emoran@thearcofco.org Name Usage: The Arc of Colorado is correct. The Arc is not an acronym.
• Do not create acronyms from The Arc
• Do not use ARC in all caps in any circumstances
• In writing, use The Arc, not The ARC and not ARC
— Think of The Arc as a title or a phrase; it must be used as a whole
— Always refer to us as “The Arc”; do not say simply “Arc” or “Arc Chapters”
The correct plural use, when referring to more than one chapter is “…chapters of The Arc”; do not say Arcs, or ARCs, or Arc chapters.
If you wish to include The Arc of Colorado’s name and/or logo in a publication, please contact Elizabeth Moran, Executive Director, emoran@thearcofco.org.
