Each year, the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) recognizes those outstanding emerging leaders with disabilities who exemplify leadership, advocacy, and commitment to the broader disability community. Two emerging as leaders in the cross-disability civil rights movement will each receive $10,000 to help them continue their progress and further connect their work with AAPD’s national outreach.

To achieve its mission, AAPD sought strategic partners to invest in our mission by supporting programs and initiatives that provide meaningful change to people with disabilities.
