Kathie's IDD World According to Hayden

07/10/2025

Honored to take part in the Mayor’s Roundtable on Disabilities, hosted by Mayor Kevin Sartor of the City of Surprise. It was inspiring to join the Veterans, Disability, and Human Services Commission and other dedicated organizations making a difference for people with disabilities across the West Valley.

Key discussions included the urgent need for better transportation solutions and expanded employment opportunities for adults with IDD. It’s always powerful to be in a room full of people committed to the same mission of inclusion, access, and opportunity.

Looking forward to continuing these important conversations and collaborating with this amazing network!
