CAN Contributors of the Year
Lindsay Hill, Michigan State University and Megan Davis, University of Alabama
The College Autism Network would not exist if not for the dedication of many volunteers who plan events like the Summit, serve on advisory boards, show up for professional development conversations, refer programs and professionals to us, participate in research studies and keep an eye on how our organization is growing. We are especially fortunate to have a group of volunteers who have done all of this for a number of years, finding time in their busy schedules to help CAN be a better organization.
This year, we are actually honoring two of those contributors--because they have become partners in their work with the College Autism Summit, and we couldn’t imagine honoring one without the other.
Together they have served as co-chairs of the Summit’s Networking Committee, planning those activities that make the Summit more than just a collection of educational sessions. Their work turns this event into a community, and that community is what sustains us all year long. Both of these volunteers have also planned several virtual events--never an easy task! And both do it with a great deal of professionalism, good humor and absolute reliability.
