💙 Celebrating More Than 35 Years of Service, Leadership & Impact
Today, more than 120 family members, friends, colleagues past and present, and community supporters came together to celebrate the retirement of CAPC’s Vice President of Services, Edith Fierro.
Edith’s career began during a very different era for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At a time when institutional care was still common, Edith was part of the work helping individuals transition into their communities and build lives with greater independence, choice, and dignity.
For more than 35 years, she has carried that commitment forward.
Edith has advocated for individuals and families, mentored generations of staff, strengthened services, and helped shape CAPC into the organization it is today. She has had the rare opportunity to witness and help advance the evolution of disability services from segregation toward greater inclusion and community living.
Her legacy cannot be measured simply in years. It can be seen in the lives people are living today.
Seeing people from across the many chapters of Edith’s career gather to honor her was a beautiful reflection of the relationships she has built and the lives she has touched.
Edith, thank you for more than 35 years of believing in what was possible and helping make it possible. Your influence is woven into CAPC’s history, and your legacy will continue long after your retirement.
Congratulations on your next adventure. You will always be part of the CAPC family. 💙
