After 34 years of dedication, compassion, leadership, and humor, our fearless leader is retiring. Today is David Reiss's last day at The Fogarty Center. David has been more than just a leader; he's been a mentor, an advocate, and a true champion for people with intellectual disabilities. His legacy will continue to shape our work for years to come.
Thank you, David, for your vision, guidance, and the heart you brought to every part of this journey.
You'll be missed, but never forgotten.
