Image ID: Painting of a middle-aged Marca Bristo, a white woman with glasses and long, dark hair. She’s sitting at a microphone in her manual wheelchair, wearing a purple Access Living t-shirt, her fist in the air. She speaks to a stadium crowd, loosely depicted in the background, with a sign over her head on a scoreboard that reads “Victory.”
Welcoming Donors, Reflecting on Marca’s Legacy, and Looking Ahead
A group of dedicated Access Living supporters gathered October 20, 2021 to honor Marca Bristo and her vision for this organization — a vision that we all share — to create a world free from barriers and discrimination, where disability is a respected part of the human experience and people with disabilities are included and valued.
When it comes to disability rights and justice we simply can’t rest on our laurels — not now — not ever. That was top of mind when our board selected Access Living’s next president and CEO, Karen Tamley.
