The Senate Resolution recognizes May 22, 2024, as The Arc Appreciation Day in Louisiana, honoring The Arc of Louisiana for its seventy years of advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As the state's oldest and largest grassroots organization, The Arc has over ten thousand members across twenty-two local chapters, providing essential support and services to families and individuals throughout the state.

The resolution highlights The Arc's commitment to putting people first, advocating for the rights of individuals with disabilities at both the state and federal levels, and collaborating with government agencies to develop protective legislation. Local chapters offer a variety of services, including early intervention, inclusive recreation, personal care assistance, and supported employment, which contribute to enhancing the quality of life for those they serve.
