I have been involved with The Arc of Bartholomew County since about 2012. I originally joined the Board and also co-founded The Columbus Autism Network. It was immediately clear how important the work of The Arc was to the autism community. Finding resources, navigating the Indiana Waiver process, and supporting the families in the Network was a priority for me.
Over the past 8 years, The Columbus Autism Network has grown to over 300 members. We would not have been able to provide assistance to our families without the direct support and guidance from The Arc. Now that I am President of the Board, I am even more excited to expand our reach to businesses and other organizations to reach our full potential for all Columbus residents and caregivers impacted by a disability.
