Hi Friends - I’m a proud member of the advisory committee for the 5th Annual Adapted Sport Leadership & Business Symposium, a two-day virtual conference Nov. 6 & 7, where adapted sport advocates and allies convene to advance the movement. It's a rare and valuable opportunity to be part of the conversations that are changing the narrative and catalyzing much-needed change for people with disabilities everywhere.
