“The 43rd Annual FDR Dinner is an exciting evening for the DRLC and an opportunity to create a space for the entire disability community to know that they are welcome in Southern California and across the country,” said Jordan Kough, Executive Director of DRLC. “The night is a celebration of inclusion and accessibility and DRLC’s hope that our community becomes a place where our role is diminished so people with all disabilities can feel welcome and included. Thanks to Klinedinst’s support… we continue to move the needle on this critical mission.”
