I received this email update this morning. I wrote a brief piece about the appointment yesterday.
This is another ASAN Update for bloggers in the Autistic and disability rights communities. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network would like to thank President Obama and the U.S. Senate for the nomination and confirmation of ASAN President Ari Ne’eman to serve as a member of the National Council on Disability (NCD). He will be the first Autistic person to serve as a member of NCD. An independent federal agency, NCD makes recommendations to the President and Congress on issues of importance to Americans with disabilities. To learn more about NCD, go to http://www.ncd.gov
An article about the confirmation can be found on Disability Scoop:http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2010/06/22/neeman-confirmation/9133/
As always, we encourage you to contact us with your comments, and please let us know if you would prefer to receive these announcements at a different address or to be removed from the list.
Best regards,
Meg Evans, Director of Community Liaison
