Meet the Management Committee
Our Management Committee, comprised of parents, allies, and advocates, is the guiding force behind our purpose to create an inclusive world where people with disability can lead good, valued and ordinary lives within their local communities. With lived experience and a dedication to authentic inclusion, the committee ensures our advocacy efforts remain aligned with our values and the aspirations of people with disability and their families.
