Congratulations, Nick Kaasa!

Yesterday at our monthly staff meeting, The Arc Oregon celebrated Nicholas Kaasa, winner of the 2026 Ross Ryan Employment Self-Advocacy Award. We were joined by guests from ODHS and Full Access Brokerage as we all recognized Nick together.

Julie Huber of the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Disabilities Services, shared that the award honors Ross Ryan's commitment to employment and his voice as an advocate. Nominations grow every year, and Nick's application stood out even in a fiercely competitive field.

Ryley Newport remembered first meeting Nick about 10 years ago, when Nick was named student of the year and then signed up as a peer mentor to help people move from sheltered workshops into community jobs. Ryley also shared a favorite Ross Ryan line: "I changed the space by being there."

Ashley Herberholz, last year's recipient, told Nick, "I couldn't think of anybody better to accept this award."

In his remarks, Nick said, "A job is more than just a paycheck. It is a reason to get up in the morning. It is a place to belong." He thanked his team, Ross Ryan, and Lindsay Dutton, who nominated him. Lindsay said Nick embodies the spirit of "nothing about us without us."

Nick is a Trainer with The Arc Oregon, and he now trains new services coordinators and personal agents to do their jobs even better. We see his work every day, and it is wonderful to see it honored.

Congratulations, Nick, and thank you to ODHS, ODDS, and Full Access Brokerage for celebrating with us during National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
