Why did you join the board?
I have used AST community resources, such as the newsletter and support groups, and I was looking for a way to contribute to the Autism community in a large way and saw the opening for board members.
I wanted to join the AST Board after recognizing the need for greater collaboration and partnership in the area of Autism. Every community in our state needs to recognize the long-term gift in making safe, accessible connections in this area. It is no longer acceptable for only a few.
What do you like most about AST or serving on the Board?
I love the fact that I can make connections with stakeholders who have experience with Autism in so many different ways. It will only make me stronger, and more intentional, in supporting this great work.
