Suellen Galbraith -- one of our nation's best, brightest and toughest disability advocates, and a true and dear friend of InterHab members and staff -- passed away this week. Please keep her friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Though most of you may not have met or known Suellen, please remember her name as one who came before you, whose personal and individual advocacy efforts had a significant impact on national disability policies.
Suellen's work, as a part of our national network of advocates, contributed to the successful expansion of HCBS, and a growing recognition in Washington of the vital roles you and your predecessors have filled in the national effort to address the needs of persons with disabilities. Suellen Galbraith was committed to the cause, and she was proud to work for community service organizations and professionals such as you.
She was a true hero.
Say a prayer for her spirit. Light a candle. Lift a toast to her memory.
