Governor Northam has released a proclamation, written by Council, declaring October to be "Disability History Awareness Month" in Virginia, which coincides with the Board's ongoing efforts since 2009 to educate and inform people across the Commonwealth about this important recognition. The proclamation itself is attached for you to share as you deem appropriate. You can also see more of the Board's effort on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/VABOARD.
