It's All-good When It Comes Knowing Frankfort

Navigating any state capital takes skill. The best negotiators understand the nuances of the political culture and the physical grounds. They speak a language clear to pundits, politicians and laymen alike. They're passionate and professional, empowered and empathetic. And they work hard.

In my estimation, there is no better teacher about Frankfort and advocacy there on behalf of people with disabilities than David Allgood at the Center for Accessible Living. I had the chance to sit down with David today, and I'm so glad I did.

I left the meeting prepared to attend the state's 874K Rally on Jan, 23, It's the largest rally about disability issues in the Commonwealth, and many of the state's high-level officials are expected attend. I also left energized about a number of other initiatives.
