"Vicki has been a staunch advocate in the areas of public policy and accessible communities. Over the years she has always kept an eye toward the fundamental reason for the network and on the ultimate goals of the programs, and that is to empower individuals with disabilities and their families to become integral, respected, and included members of their communities."
