The Advocacy and Leadership Development team supports the enhancement of families’ knowledge and skills to enable them to effectively advocate for a life of meaningful community inclusion for their family member with a disability. Karen manages the team and has 10 years experience empowering families through various roles within Family Advocacy. Karen has come from a corporate business background and moved into the not-for-profit sector on her family’s return from overseas where she focused on raising her three daughters. An inherent desire for equity and fairness is a key motivator for Karen both personally and professionally.
