GCDD’s Real Communities Initiative Receives National Award

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) was the recipient this week of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) 2016 Full Community Inclusion Award for its Real Communities Initiative. The award was presented during the AAIDD Conference in this week in Downtown Atlanta. This award recognizes culturally responsive programs that have succeeded in full community inclusion and participation.

“We are excited and grateful for this recognition,” said GCDD Executive Director Eric Jacobson. “We share this with our Real Communities Community Builders, partners, GCDD Council and staff who continue working towards an inclusive community for Georgians with and without disabilities.”

Many Councils have benefited from learning about the Real Communities Initiative and have adopting some of the Asset Based Community Principles (ABCD) into their own work.

Thanks for inspiring us all Eric, Mitzi and entire Georgia DD Council! Congratulations to you all!

Donna and the NACDD Team
