We are absolutely thrilled to extend a huge congratulations to everyone involved in this year's ACT - Advocating Change Together Disability Justice Jamboree! As we conclude day two of the conference, we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude and recognize some truly special individuals, alongside celebrating two incredible awards our organization received.
First, we want to highlight our very own Joan Decker. Joan, who has also volunteered her time with ACT, has dedicated years to outstanding advocacy in the disability community. We are incredibly proud to announce that she was honored with the prestigious Gloria Steinbring Leadership Award. Her dedication and leadership are an inspiration to us all.
Additionally, DreamLife Destiny was deeply honored to receive the Irving Martin Self Advocacy Award. We are truly humbled by this recognition, and it further motivates us in our mission to advocate for self-advocacy within the disability community.
A special shoutout to the entire ACT crew for once again organizing such an impactful and inspiring conference. Your efforts create an invaluable platform for change, and we are already looking forward to the next one!
