Unified Leadership Facilitators
“The Unified Leadership Presentation was wonderful! The presenters and the rich content had an impact on me both professionally and personally. I am excited to apply my learnings to many areas of my life. It was one of the best inclusivity workshops I have ever attended because the presentation was so informative, interactive and engaging. In addition, it exuded a spirit of kindness, patience and encouragement…all of which are necessary when learning about a complex, sensitive topic such as increasing understanding (and appreciation) of people with intellectual disabilities. Thank you, Special Olympics Colorado.”
