To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and to kick off National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the National Disability Mentoring Coalition has named 25 leaders as the first inductees into the Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame. Selection criteria included the individuals' demonstrated commitment to mentoring and the impact of their contributions on improving the lives of people with disabilities.
MIUSA CEO Susan Sygall is honored to be part of the first class of Hall of Fame inductees and appreciates her role as a mentor to others, especially to women and girls with disabilities.
"There have not been a lot of opportunities for disabled women and girls to aspire to leadership positions. Anything I can do to break open those barriers and make things possible for disabled women and girls to really take their place as leaders in the world community, I will aspire to do." For more, watch Susan's video blog on mentors, including who has mentored her on her path.
MIUSA congratulates Sygall's fellow inductees who make up a diverse roster of athletes, activists, authors, artists, government officials, and other eminent professionals.
