Monthly Update from the Executive Director
Dr. Katharine Robershaw
As we move into the spring season, I am reminded of the importance of growth, awareness, and stewardship, values that guide our work each day as we provide targeted case management services to individuals with developmental disabilities across our community.
April is a meaningful month for two important reasons. First, it is Autism Awareness Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the strengths, talents, and unique perspectives of individuals on the autism spectrum. It also serves as an opportunity to promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion. At MPower, we remain committed to ensuring that every individual we serve has access to the supports they need to live fulfilling, self-directed lives. We encourage our community to continue learning, advocating, and fostering environments where all individuals are valued and respected.
Additionally, April brings Earth Day, a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for the world around us. Just as we strive to build supportive and inclusive communities for people, we must also be mindful of the environments in which we live and work. Small actions, whether reducing waste, conserving resources, or supporting local sustainability efforts, can have a meaningful impact. As an organization, we are continually exploring ways to operate more responsibly and encourage others to join us in these efforts.
Our mission is rooted in connection, connecting individuals to services, families to resources, and communities to a shared vision of inclusion and sustainability. Whether through advocacy, service coordination, or community partnerships, we are proud to stand alongside you in making a positive difference.
Thank you for your continued support of our work and for helping us build a stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable community.
Sincerely,
Katharine Robershaw
