The mission of Premier Alliances, Inc. is Improving the Lives of People with Disabilities.

We have been working toward that goal continuously since our inception in 1962, when local families came together to provide educational opportunities for children in Bisbee, Arizona who had developmental disabilities. Since then, Premier Alliances has evolved into the most significant employer of individuals with additional needs in Cochise County, providing well-paying jobs with benefits, allowing our clients to become more independent and achieve personal goals. In total, more than 75% of direct labor hours throughout the organization are performed by individuals with diagnosed disabilities. In-house educational programs are tailored to the needs and goals of individual employees.

Premier Alliances is a member of SourceAmerica, a nonprofit advocacy group which supports smaller nonprofit agencies in their efforts to secure and maintain federal contracts. Through SourceAmerica, Premier Alliances employees have access to numerous training and professional development opportunities, including certifications to handle new equipment and tools, management skills, disability awareness and more. Administrative level training includes courses like contract negotiation. Premier Alliances also encourages the continuing education of its employees through tuition support.
