<h2 style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #606d78; font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0;"><span style="color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 24px;">About Nancy Burgess-Hall</span></h2>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">Nancy was a born activist. From childhood she was surrounded by family and friends who were openly civically engaged and invested in making the world a better place. It was in grad school, while attending a disability-related legal rights conference, that her advocacy connected her to her lifelong advocacy partner and husband, Doug Hall.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">As an educator, Nancy helped many young people with communication disorders during her long career as a speech-language pathologist in the Volusia County School system. A highly effective advocate herself, together she and Doug made a formidable team. The two of them did truly trailblazing work in Florida even before implementation of the ADA, achieving a marked impact in the state. It is because of Nancy, Doug, and other dedicated activists, that we have accessible voting, media, and transportation available today in Florida.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">Doug and Nancy experienced disability differently. At two years of age, Nancy was diagnosed with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and eventually spent much of her life in a wheelchair. Doug became totally blind at age eight as the result of an accident. Nonetheless, they reinforced each other in their advocacy endeavors. Nancy dedicated a lot of time and effort to disability causes, and she offered support and care to individuals as well. It was because of her dedication and solidarity that she was beloved and respected throughout the Florida disability community.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">Nancy was both a leader and a doer. She actively contributed concrete, practical support for her advocacy undertakings, from creating and editing key documents for multiple organizations, and serving on various advisory councils and boards, to documenting events with her photography, and providing transportation in her wheelchair accessible vehicle.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">She was the recipient of numerous awards and commendations from both local and state agencies and organizations. Among many others, she received recognition from the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), from the Halifax Council of the Blind, and the Volusia County Department of Elections. The Florida Council of the Blind presented her with three prestigious statewide awards and, since her death, will be annually awarding the Nancy Burgess-Hall Advocacy Scholarship.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;">With her extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise in disability organizing and advocacy, Nancy was a vital asset to the Access the Vote Florida (ATVFL) coalition. While truly an intellectual leader, she knew and recognized the importance of coalition-building, and of empowering others to grow and learn. Nancy will be remembered as a well-respected, trusted, and influential leader within the ATVFL Coalition and the broader Florida disability community. By her example, she continues to provide a memorable model for effective advocacy.</span></p>
