Over the past year, Seagull Services has worked to provide as many different programs as feasible while keeping our participants and employees healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Seagull’s protocol system developed late last year in the wake of rising case numbers has been recognized as a model system by the state Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD). Seagull CEO Dan Stanislawczyk has been asked to present the model to other area nonprofit leaders.
