Intent to Sponsor Form JOIN US… for RAMP’s 31st Annual Changing Attitudes Breaking Barriers Luncheon - a lunch that is both entertaining and educational!  This year’s Keynote Speaker is Joie Vittetow. Joie was born hard of hearing, and since a very young age her determination and hard work have prepared her for a constant journey of setting goals and accomplishing them. Joie realized as a child that she wanted to be an engineer, after participating in a mentor program, she was certain this was her calling. Joie will share how her disability has shaped the successful woman she is today. Because of the impact her mentor had on her as a child, Joie now mentors adolescents in robotics, hoping to inspire youth to find their passion while learning that in life, “plans change but goals don’t.”  For more information or to request accommodations call RAMP: 779-774-1021. We appreciate your support and consideration. Thank you, Your Friends at RAMP Event Tickets
