The 5th Annual Irving Martin Self-Advocacy
Award will be given to an individual or group who has shown their commitment to
promoting self-advocacy. This award is given in memory of the late Irving Martin
"The Godfather of Self-Advocacy," who was known for his endless work on behalf
of the self-advocacy movement. Irving Martin understood that people with
disabilities are people first, deserving the same opportunities as everyone
else. He had the innate ability to share his vision with others. His message was
simple - all people belong in the community working together to create better
lives and training self-advocates across the nation to their role in creating
change.
