Over the course of Monday, July 15 and Tuesday, July 16, the third cohort of the Connecticut Aspiring Leaders Academy met for their orientation retreat!

July is Disability Pride Month! Disability Pride Month is held in July because it marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a landmark legislation for inclusion. This month we honor the disability community’s history and achievements while also acknowledging their struggles and the work to break down the barriers that still exist. Throughout the month we’ll be sharing different pieces of disability history and highlighting individuals with disabilities!
