Self-Advocate Advisory Board

Our current SAAB members include (L to R) Kimberly Blackmon, Lauren Fairchild, Candace Moffitt, and Ethan Whitt

The Self-Advocate Advisory Board is a group of self-advocates (18 and older) who help our staff and Executive Board of Directors ensure that self-advocates are included as important participants and stakeholders in all areas of DSPNT programming.

The Self-Advocate Advisory Board will meet nine times a year and will plan and coordinate Teen Scene activities that include social and community give-back events, speak at community events, and act as ambassadors to the community on World Down Syndrome Day and at the Step Up Walk.

The Self-Advocate Advisory Board will be comprised of 5-10 members that represent the population served through DSPNT. 

Interested self-advocates should read all requirements and expectations prior to submitting an application.  If you have questions, please email SAAB.
