> 
> 
> This week we are going to spotlight the Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) that
> was held in Columbus. YLF is a week-long conference that provides selected
> high school juniors and seniors with disabilities the opportunity to develop
> and enhance leadership skills. YLF featured seminars on voting, preparing
> for job interviews and incorporated social activities such as a talent show
> and a dance. I want to congratulate the Governor's Council on People with
> Disabilities (GCPAID) for the largest participant turnout in its 11 year
> history.
> 
> 
> I had the honor of speaking to the delegates at the YLF kick-off on Monday.
> It was an experience like none other-to see future advocates and leaders
> gathered in one room to plot out the best ways to use their unique talents
> to improve their communities was inspiring. It was also a great opportunity
> to speak with the delegates about RSC's efforts to connect with them through
> our transition youth programs. I also shared with them some of the exciting
> things I've had the privilege to see since becoming director-things like
> Project SEARCH in Columbus and Cincinnati that are helping empower young
> adults with successful employment that leads to a more independent living
> experience. 
> 
> 
> On Thursday, Tyson Gentry provided the keynote address to this year's YLF.
> Mr. Gentry was a punter for The Ohio State University football team in 2006
> when he suffered a spinal cord injury during practice, leaving him
> paralyzed. He described his fight each day to regain the use of his limbs
> and refusal to give into the naysayers who say the odds are not in his favor
> to walk again. What was particularly uplifting about his talk was how he has
> turned his injury into a force for good in his community. Mr. Gentry
> regularly speaks up and out about the need for people with disabilities to
> be assured access and inclusion to employment and other essential life
> opportunities. In some ways his message to the young people gathered at YLF
> was simple: We all have disabilities but the most important thing is to
> never allow a disability to get in the way of the things you believe in.
> 
> 
> I want to thank Jermaine Brown, Chair, GCPAID and  Scott Hinton, Deputy
> Director, GCPAID, as well as staff members Donna Foster and Pamela Carter for
> their dedicated work in making another inspiring and exciting YLF for each
> of this year's delegates. 
> We got excellent news from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA)
> this afternoon on the enormously important issue of RSC contracts with local
> public agencies who include money from third-party partners to qualify for
> our matching dollars.
>  
> 
> The RSA has informed us that local public agencies who contract with RSC can
> use private funds obtained by community rehabilitation programs as part of
> their funding match.
