"Why Not Them" - Lloyd Lewis's account of personal transformation and how he revolutionized a company by employing persons with disablities has a postive message that heals and inspires. More than just a story of personal triumph, or trials of a father and his son born with Down syndrome, its about the commitment to a dream, a community, and to advocacy for those in need.
Our speaker, Luke Stahmer, has served on the Arc board for over a decade, including chairing two executive committies. He has taken a full-time role doing community relations and business development with an emphasis on sharing the successes of Arc in the community.
