A shout out to all who journeyed with us in 2021, thank you for your continued engagement in disability inclusion and your support for the Center for Disability Inclusion. Our new brand was announced in September at our annual conference and we have had nothing but amazingly favorable feedback. This allows us to continue to expand our services across the country. As we all work together with sheer determination not to let disability inclusion be pushed aside or ignored,

I am gratefully for the togetherness I see and tenacity it is taking to keep our focus. Thank you!

Our 2021 Year in Review will be out soon. This is a way for us to highlight accomplishments and promote our partners who continue to team up with us to elevate disability inclusion in the workplace, as well as those who have joined us this past year.

As we enter a new year with new opportunities, I wanted to thank our outgoing board of director members, Donna Ward with Federal Reserve Bank of KC and Cecily Bee now with Henderson Engineering, for their years of service to this organization. Both Donna and Cecily have contributed their time and energy to helping advance disability inclusion. We truly appreciate them and recognize their contributions. Also, I want to thank George Calvert with Jack Henry & Associates for his service as board president the past two years. George's leadership has been instrumental in our growth. Each of the board members contribute their time and talents to ensure we stay mission driven and continue to help advance disability inclusion in the workplace and marketplace. I also what to thank our leadership team; each of you display great strength in carrying out this work and I value you and all your accomplishments.

I am excited about 2022 and the continued possibilities for growth. I look forward

to working closer together with each current partner and those yet to join us. Together we ARE making a difference.
