ABI Community is a collaboration of programs, trainings, workshops, resources, and supports that has grown around the All Born (in) movement and our annual Cross-Disability Best-Practices Educational Inclusion Conference.
ABI is a program of NW Disability Support.
To our community,
The past two years have been disruptive to all of our lives on so many levels. NW Disability Support (NWDSA/ABI) were fortunate to have secured temporary funding to keep our staff employed during the pandemic. The focus on COVID-19 vaccination education and advocacy gave us opportunities as well as challenges.
NW Disability Support (NWDSA/ABI) has lost vital sources of funding and the board determined that all staff will be laid off as of June 30, 2022 as the board considers the next steps. Due to this we are suspending all services, supports and events as of June 30th. (ABI: Bike First! Bike Camp will still happen as scheduled the week of June 20th, and Vaccine Clinic event on June 15th).
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our staff, partners and the families we have served. The board is working to identify priority needs in the community, and will consider a restructure to meet those needs
If you have questions or concerns we invite you to reach out to our Board Chair Mike Rosen at mikerosen@nwdisabilitysupport.org or Board Member Molly Hulett at molly.nwds@gmail.com. We will be updating our community as things become more clear.
Sincerely,
NW Disability Support Board

A nuestra comunidad,
Los últimos dos años han sido disruptivos para todas nuestras vidas en muchos niveles. NW Disability Support (NWDSA/ABI) tuvo la suerte de haber obtenido fondos temporales para mantener a nuestro personal empleado durante la pandemia. El enfoque en la educación y promoción de la vacunación contra el COVID-19 nos brindó oportunidades y desafíos.
NW Disability Support (NWDSA/ABI) ha perdido fuentes vitales de financiación y la junta directiva determinó que todo el personal será despedido a partir del 30 de junio de 2022 mientras la junta directiva considera los próximos pasos. Debido a esto estamos suspendiendo todos los servicios, apoyos y eventos a partir del 30 de junio. (Bike First aún se llevará a cabo como estaba previsto la semana del 20 de junio y nuestra clínica de vacunación del mes de junio también se llevará a cabo el 15 de junio).
Tenemos una enorme deuda de gratitud con nuestro personal, socios y las familias a las que hemos servido. La junta directiva está trabajando para identificar las necesidades prioritarias en la comunidad y considerará una reestructuración para satisfacer esas necesidades.
Si tiene preguntas o inquietudes, los invitamos a comunicarse con el presidente de la junta directiva, Mike Rosen, en mikerosen@nwdisabilitysupport.org o con Molly Hulett, miembro de la junta directiva, en molly.nwds@gmail.com. Actualizaremos a nuestra comunidad a medida que las cosas se aclaren.
Sinceramente,
La junta directiva de NW Disability Support
