Many Thanks

It takes a village, a family, a group of people coming together, whatever you want to call it, that is what happened this year. Many thanks to the APRIL Board members, staff, presenters and many many other friends and supporters out there who made this conference come together. There are of course a few people who we want to mention by name, but even if we didn't mention you, trust us, we noticed your support, we value you!

To all of our presenters, this conference could not happen without YOU!! We send you our gratitude, our thanks, Kudos, applause and our appreciation for sharing your time and knowledge with us.  

We give Gratitude to all of our Conference Sponsors who stepped up again this year to support us! 

Huge Kudos to our Conference Vendors for choosing to support our event with your valuable resources. You are irreplaceable!  

Thank you to the professionals who have been in charge of the Closed Captioning (Archer Captioning) for the Conference and ASL Interpreters (CODAs Plus) for this year's Conference. We also want to send a huge thank you to the local Center for Independent Living in Portland, Oregon - Independent Living Resources - for handling PCA and DME requests, as well as bringing information about Portland! We appreciate your ability to adapt to last minute changes and requests! Without you we would not have been able to provide accessible attendance for this conference!

And to all of YOU!  You showing up and being here with us means the world to us. Thank you for sharing in our Annual APRIL Conference and Empowering Your Inner R.O.S.E. with us. To us at APRIL, being able to network, grow together, and continue to collaborate on behalf of the disability community we are a part of is the best part of what we do.
