Connections for Community Leadership is asking people with disabilities to send us your thoughts, your work, your stories, ideas, examples of experiences, events, and activities you are proud of which give you a sense of personal value and power. We are interested in gathering such personal pride and power intellectual paraphernalia to share with others with the goal of inspiring leaders and showing the world what a difference people with disabilities can make.

We would like to share with you some of the submissions we have received.
