Join IPUL's Board of Directors!

jakes board recruitment why

"I wanted to be a part of the board because I realized that they have a wealth of information that we didn't have when we first found out that 

our son was on the autism spectrum.  

It would have been an incredible resource to be able to have them and to learn and to be able to know the opportunities that there are for finding help and information. 

Being on the board allows me to help other parents to understand those resources and great staff are available at IPUL."
