Hello Everyone,
September often feels like a new beginning. As schools reopen and routines settle in, I am reminded that our mission is about creating opportunities every day for individuals with intellectual disability. That work depends on families, providers, advocates, and staff who bring their energy and commitment to the table.

Best Regards,
Clement Pownall
