Irving Martin Self-Advocacy Award

 

 

 

 

 

 

WINNER of 2007 AWARD:

 

     Heidi Myhre is well known within the disability community as a teacher, speaker,

     advocate, activist, friend, and leader.  It is not unusual to find her testifying at the

     Capitol, presenting at conferences and workshops, actively participating on various

     committees and workshops, participating in the Getting Out the Vote Drive, etc.  As the

     person who nominated stated, " If leadership and knowledge about disability and

     services was something you could bottle up and sell, Heidi's picture would be on the

     bottle".  In the spirit of the Irving Martin Award, Heidi has truly made a significant

     difference in the lives of persons with disabilities.  Congratulations Heidi!
