Check out this great moment at this year's Oklahoma PIP Graduate Academy!
Dr. Bradley Mays, our Oklahoma PIP Director, caught up with some of PIP graduates who have taken their advocacy to the next level by serving in elected and appointed roles. ​
From the State Legislature to the Norman School Board and the Developmental Disabilities Council, our graduates are proving there is no limit to the impact that can be made. ​We are so proud of the work
Representative Ellyn Hefner, Ms. Tori Collier, and Mr. Bryce Wooten are doing to shape policy and represent their communities. Keep shining!
