Joelle Brouner - Executive Director
"I began working for the Council in February of 2005 because I believe strongly that when Government is doing its work well, it can be accountable to the people it serves and inspire engagement from the public. I've been moved by the considerable investment of time and energy that each council member has made to our work. I have the utmost respect for customers of DVR who took the time to share their stories with us about their journey to employment.
I see this position as an extension of my long term commitment to the Disability Rights Movement and the state where I was born and raised. From early efforts to advocate for my own dreams as a person with a disability, to systems advocacy, and broader efforts to make society more welcoming to people with disabilities, I have a deep commitment to contributing to positive change.
In the last year this council has made great strides toward achieving its full potential. It has been an honor to serve this council, DVR and its customers."
