Impacting Disability Policy
by Mary Elizabeth Robertson and Joel Sams
Across the country, lawmakers, commissioners, directors, governors and other individuals work to enrich the U.S. through their contributions to communities, and many are impacted by a disability. Despite differences in political party or background, job title or community, they all share one thing in common: The Americans With Disabilities Act brought accessibility and opportunity to their personal and professional lives. As the nation celebrates 30 years of the groundbreaking legislation, we recognize our members who continue to bring awareness to disability issues and advocate for people with disabilities as they look ahead to the work that still needs to be done.
