| What: | For eight years, The AAPD Leadership Gala has brought together leaders from government, business, and the disability and civil rights communities, in recognition of the Paul G. Hearne Leadership Award recipients and as a celebration of achievement, leadership and progress in AAPD’s mission to organize the disability community to be a powerful force for change – politically, economically and socially. The 2010 AAPD Leadership Gala and Anniversary Celebration will feature the policy makers, decision makers and thought leaders who successfully forged and passed the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act and subsequently founded AAPD, the largest cross disability membership organization in the United States, working toward the economic self-sufficiency and political power for the more than 50 million Americans with disabilities. |
