Standing on the steps of progress in Washington, DC! 🏛️ VARC leadership spent last week advocating for our incredible clients with disabilities, connecting with national leaders (Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Representative Tom Tiffany, and Congressman Glenn Grothman) and sparking conversations about policy, inclusion, workforce, and opportunity.

From early morning briefings to impactful meetings, we’re proud to be a voice for Wisconsin and to help shape a brighter, more accessible future for all. 💪✨
