Association for University Centers on Disabilities Honors FCIC at Awards Gala
Each year during the Association for University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) Annual Conference, an Awards Gala is held to honor individuals, groups or programs for their exemplary work and service. The FCIC/UCEDD is the proud winner of this year's AUCD Council on Community Advocacy Award! It is given to the UCEDD that has exhibited the strongest commitment to support the full and active participation of self-advocates and family members on its consumer advisory council.
"We are forever indebted to the altruism, dedication, and determination of our CAC members to truly 'make a difference,'" said FCIC Associate Director Elizabeth Perkins. Dr. Perkins and CAC Chair Damian Gregory both traveled to Washington DC to receive the award on behalf of FCIC. 
The majority of the members of the CAC are required to be individuals with developmental disabilities, and family members. The CAC must also include representatives from state agencies and other community groups concerned with the welfare of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Please visit the FCIC CAC members page to learn more. (Photos: top, Dr. Perkins and CAC Chair Damian Gregory accepting the award;left, Dr. Perkins and Mr. Gregory with AUCD President Julie Fodor.
