People with Disabilities
Awareness Day 2012
Thank YOU!
This year’s People with Disabilities Awareness Day was AWESOME.
It was awesome because 664 people were at the event. It was
awesome because we had 72 exhibitors there. It was awesome
because our event leaders came and performed their jobs
perfectly.
Without the self-less dedication of the event leaders, exhibitors
would have struggled to get materials in or finding their table,
guests would have had a hard time finding or talking to a
legislator or wouldn’t have known there was a special row for
disability parking and much more.
There were guest, exhibitors and leaders all over that building,
having a good time, networking, learning about organizations and
groups that serve people with disabilities and visiting legislators.
The objective of the day was awareness and you could not have
been in that building without noticing all the green. Good job
everyone!
PWDAD 2012 is well documented with more than 500 pictures.
