At our national conference last week in Corpus Christi, the NRA Board of Directors reviewed the association's finances. As you know, membership associations are struggling to retain and attract new members, and, unfortunately, the National Rehabilitation Association is facing the same challenge. As a result, we need to reduce the size of our national office staff. Specifically, we have eliminated the position of Director of Government Affairs.
This is particularly sad since our Government Affairs Director, Patricia Leahy, has been with NRA for over 16 years and has been a powerful and effective voice in advocating on behalf of children and adults with disabilities. We understand that this is a grave loss to the National Rehabilitation Association and wish we had better news.
An announcement of Patricia's departure was made at the national conference immediately following Patricia's policy update. You will not be surprised to learn that the conference attendees expressed their sincere appreciation for Patricia's work with a prolonged standing ovation.
The NRA national office will continue to send information about legislative and regulatory matters effecting people with disabilities and will continue to advocate vigorously for equal opportunity for people with disabilities everywhere. The work we do is too important to lessen our efforts, and while it will not be the same without Patricia, we will rise to the challenge.
