What is Your Why Wednesday?
Julie T. at the Down Syndrome of Louisville shares her why this week!
My DSL Why?
I met Emily when I was blessed to be her babysitter in high school. I fell in love with her and her family. I continued to volunteer and hang around DSL until the right position became available at the right time. It has been a dream!
My AIA Why?
As a new leader at DSL, I attended the first AIA Leadership Conference in 2019, and my eyes were opened. I no longer felt alone—I felt like I had found my people! The passionate leaders who are a part of AIA are all here to help EVERY DSA succeed and I always know I can pick up the phone and find someone who can help me.
Want to share your journey email info@dsaia.org. Send your why and a picture!
