We thank the Sedgwick County commission for recognizing our 2026 professional of the year Jeanette Livingston. Another IDD champion in a list of legends in the IDD world.

Congratulations again Jeanette

Congratulations to Jeannette Livingston, Deputy Director of Sedgwick County's Community Developmental Disability Organization (CDDO), who was named IDD Professional of the Year at the annual Ability Point Awards Night.

She was chosen by past award winners who called Jeannette "a true champion of the IDD service network." They noted her dedication to helping others and her success in leading "one of the largest and best run CDDOs in the state."

Well deserved!💙

A huge thank you once again to our friends from the Cars for Charities Rod & Custom Car Show for their generous gift in support of the AbilityPoint endowment fund.
