Good morning from Norwood, where we’re excited to be taking part in @MASSadvocates1 28th annual #selfadvocacy conference!
Looking forward to a fun day of learning and reconnecting with our fellow community members.
We’ve worked up quite an appetite this morning and are ready for lunch 🍽️
Glad to have the chance to reconnect with so many #disabilitycouncil members, both past and present!
Lunch also included this year’s MASS Conference Awardees: MDDC Chair Raquel Quezada was honored to present our own Council Member, Amber Pettell, with the 2026 Sandy Houghton #SelfAdvocacy award 🏆
