Join us for this free educational webinar with Melanie Kretschmer from Family Voices of Wisconsin on Tuesday, November 10th, at 6:30 PM. For children with disabilities, practicing choice-making is especially important because it can lead to a more self-determined life as an adult. This means an adult with connections to their community, a sense of empowerment, and a sense of safety because they know their opinions matter. This session has tips and tools for everything you need to start practicing choice-making with your child.

A Leadership Update and a Thank You-

For over eight years, it has been a privilege to be part of the Autism Society in Wisconsin and to serve the Autism community. During that time, we have experienced tremendous growth and change, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside such dedicated staff, volunteers, community partners, donors, and others who share a passion for making a difference.

After much consideration, I have made the decision to resign from my position as Executive Director to explore new opportunities and projects. While I look forward to what comes next, my time with the Autism Society of Wisconsin has been an incredibly meaningful part of my life. I will always value the experiences, relationships, and connections I have made along the way.

As I transition out of my role, Megan Hufton will be serving as Interim Executive Director. Megan brings valuable experience and a strong understanding of our organization, programs, and the communities we serve. I am confident she will help provide continuity and leadership as the organization moves forward.

The Autism Society of Wisconsin’s commitment to supporting Autistic individuals and their families throughout the state remains strong. I encourage you to continue supporting the organization, its staff, and the important work happening in communities across Wisconsin.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this organization and for the opportunity to work alongside such a dedicated community. I will always be grateful for my time with the Autism Society and the people who made it so meaningful.
