Clinton Global Initiative/Keystone Global PartnersAs a returning member of the Clinton Global Initiative, Dennis W. Felty's (President of Keystone Human Services, parent company to this Organization) efforts have culminated in a formal Commitment for Action in support of the Initiative's Global Health priority. This Commitment centers on the Keystone Global Partners (KGP) program. The KGP model is built on years of Keystone Human Services' work empowering community leaders and professionals through our International Practical Training Program and International Professional Exchanges. KGP aims to apply the strengths of America's private nonprofit sector to help build the capacity of emerging non-government organizations (NGOs) in countries that are just beginning to develop their human service systems in the areas of autism, education, health care, intellectual disability, mental illness, and physical disability. The ultimate goal of the program is to advance systems of care - coordinated networks of services and supports - for people with disabilities around the globe.International Federation of Educative Communities (FICE)FICE, an international organization developing systems of care throughout the world, has re-established FICE-United States, with Dennis W. Felty serving as President.
