ADA 25 Advancing Leadership is looking for new members who will build the pipeline of leaders with disabilities in Chicago. This membership process is targeted for individuals with at least 10 years of leadership experience and a passion for civic engagement. Happy to answer any questions and looping my colleague, Risa, who oversees this effort.

> Thanks so much Patti. Actually, my colleague Alexandra (Alex) Perez-Garcia will represent us as I have had something else come up. So sorry to miss you but am delighted to make the connection and Alex is a great person as she handles much of the outreach for ADA 25 Advancing Leadership. Thanks again for the invitation. I’m copying Alex and she may be in touch with you directly.
