Disability Leadership Matters

Disability Lead was founded with the vision that people with disabilities will lead with power and influence for full participation and equal opportunity. Nine years later, we have made tremendous progress towards this vision and are excited to bring our program to Southwest Pennsylvania.  

Please join us at UPMC Mercy Pavilion for an engaging discussion and reception with our Members, stakeholders, and staff.

Agenda:

• 11:30 am: Doors open and lunch is available
• 12 pm: Program Begins
• 1 pm: Dessert and networking

The event space is accessible including the entrance, bathroom, and reception space. CART and ASL will be provided.  For any accommodations, please contact Risa Rifkind at rrifkind@disabilitylead.org or 312-994-4215.

COVID-19 Protocols

As COVID-19 continues to impact our communities — and because there will be immunocompromised and medically vulnerable people in attendance — we need your help to create and maintain a safer environment for all. It is our collective responsibility to follow the protocols and we appreciate your cooperation in advance. Staff will not be able to enforce these protocols so please keep yourself accountable.

‍For indoor spaces, masks are required for the entire event except when actively eating, drinking, or presenting.

‍For outdoor spaces, masks are optional.

Guests must be up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations unless medically exempt. If you're medically exempt, please take a COVID-19 antigen test within 24 hours of attending and only attend if your test is negative. If you have tested positive for COVID-19, are waiting for COVID-19 test results, have COVID-19 symptoms, feel sick or unwell, or have had close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 or is sick, please do not attend. N95 masks are preferred. Please note that if we are in a shared space including the lobby space, the elevator, and bathrooms, we may not be able to control those spaces and masking.
