Disability:IN Wisconsin
From our Executive Director
As 2022 is coming to a close, the Board of Advisors and I would like to express our deep appreciation for all that you do to carry the message of disability inclusion across your organizations and throughout the state.
 
Each one of you serves as a Disability Inclusion ambassador in your business and local communities, and we are truly grateful. We are proud of our accomplishments in the last year, and we look forward to doing more together in 2023.
 
Moving forward, I am extremely excited about the future of Disability:IN Wisconsin and the foundation we have laid to make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities and the organizations that hire them. Given the current labor shortages, it is more important than ever to think differently about the pools of talent you access. Individuals with disabilities have strong skillsets and an ability to meaningful contribute to any organization. It is proven that when done correctly, companies that have a diverse workforce including individuals with disabilities have a strong culture and generate better returns.
We are very excited to announce that our Board is changing their organizational structure. The Board will be moving from an advisory board to a governing board in 2023.  Tracy Glorioso will continue her leadership as board chair for 2023. Board officers will include: Tracey Andrus, Rangam Consultants as Vice-Chair, David Bassett, Rockwell Automation as Treasurer and Juan Banda, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin as Secretary.  

Wishing you holidays filled with fun and laughter and very best wishes for a prosperous New Year.
