ACT Staff: Shared Leadership, Bottom to Top

Shared leadership is key to self-advocacy. The ACT staff walks the talk.

ACT has two co-directors, one of whom is a person with a disability. Our administrative director is a parent of a child with disabilities. We also have an organizer and an office assistant. And we have an office worker who has a developmental disability.

But of course these six people can’t do it all. So we hire other folks on short-term contracts. They help us build new programs, print materials, and write grants.
