We’ve been so grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) over the last few years. Today, we’re chatting with Kandi Pickard, the President & CEO of NDSS, and celebrating their 45th Anniversary coming up on June 20th! Kandi is sharing the organization's journey from a support group that has grown into a major policy and advocacy organization, she shares her experience from becoming a volunteer to taking over as President & CEO, and what the future holds for NDSS! We chat about the honor of learning from and advocating alongside self-advocates, and the commitment NDSS has to representing the beauty and diversity of the Down syndrome community. We’re so grateful for the vital work they do to support and create opportunities for the community, tune in and be inspired by Kandi’s dedication and vision for the future of NDSS!
