Alanna was a treasured member of the NSRAA family as well.

It was our honour to give Alanna the RICK Champion award at this years’ conference as she was someone who certainly “walked the walk.” Alanna was one of our senior RICK trainers within NSRAA, a trainer at her organization, and has been a huge presence at many NSRAA meetings, trainings, and conferences. Alanna’s passion for person directed supports was contagious. We have lost a true champion in our sector and I know Gateway and NSRAA will miss her terribly.



I will personally miss her wit and honesty. Alanna was such a thoughtful and caring leader.
