With hearts brimming with hope and an unshakeable spirit of determination, we are overjoyed to unveil a monumental step in our steadfast journey toward inclusion and empowerment—the inaugural gathering of the Client Advisory Council at the Cherokee County Disabilities and Special Needs Board, set for Monday, April 14th, 2025.

This council is far more than just a meeting; it is the living embodiment of a dream where the voices of those receiving services echo powerfully within the heart of decision-making. A vibrant assembly of passionate self-advocates will unite, ready to share their invaluable insights, weave their compelling narratives, and stand shoulder to shoulder with leadership as they strengthen the very services and support systems that touch their lives in profound ways each day.

As this council sets forth on its inspiring journey, it will meet regularly, forging unbreakable bonds with dedicated staff, visionary board leadership, and compassionate community allies. Together, they will explore what truly matters, discover priorities that resonate deeply, and craft actionable plans that spark meaningful change.

This council stands as a shining testament to our mission—a mission that cherishes the unwavering belief that individuals with disabilities deserve to lead lives that are rich with meaning, overflowing with dignity, and enveloped in respect.

We cannot wait to share the incredible updates, heartwarming stories, and transformative progress that will emerge from this extraordinary group of self-advocates. Together, we are not merely dreaming of a brighter future; we are fervently constructing a world where every voice resonates loudly, and every individual is cherished.
