Around GCDD: Council Member Selected for Leadership Academy
Brenda Munoz, GCDD Council Member and parent advocate, was selected as one of thirty out of a hundred applicants to receive a full scholarship to attend the Leadership Academy in Santa Fe, New Mexico on June 22-25, 2015.
Hosted by The Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence, the Leadership Academy aims to advance and sustain cultural diversity and cultural and linguistic competence in networks supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Through this opportunity, Munoz believes that, “I have a charge to co-create with the GCDD leadership a diversity and inclusion blueprint for Georgia, and will gain access to a year-long professional national expert/mentor in order to provide guidance and technical assistance.”
The Academy is part of the Leadership Institute for Cultural Diversity and Cultural and Linguistic Competence funded by Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Administration on Community Living, and US Department of Health and Human Services.
