Personally, I've been so grateful for your warm welcome and constant support of me, the MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network, and integrating brain injuries into the broader disability community.

Your steady presence, thoughtful leadership, and unwavering advocacy have left an indelible mark.

Thank you for always bringing clarity, compassion, and a fierce commitment to equity and independent living. Your ability to hold both the vision and the details has guided this Council through critical decisions and transformative conversations.

It has been an honor to work alongside you, and while we’ll miss your regular presence, your spirit and legacy will continue to guide our work.

With deepest gratitude and admiration,
