InterHab, the oldest and largest statewide association of developmental disability service providers, announced today that Tim Wood will be joining the organization as Executive Director.

Wood has a breadth of experience supporting and advocating for persons with disabilities including Disability Rights Tennessee and Disability Rights Center of Kansas. In total, Wood has more than 18 years of experience working in government relations and disability policy.

At InterHab, Wood will lead members in strategic advocacy efforts with Kansas legislators and stakeholders to improve the lives of Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Wood will be filling the role that becomes vacant upon the retirement of Tom Laing, InterHab Executive Director since 1993, who will remain with InterHab in a transitionary role through September.
