>Dear Fellow Advocates,
>
>We are pleased to share the good news that Jill Jacobs has agreed to join
us
>in our mission at United Cerebral Palsy of Washington, DC and Northern
>Virginia (UCP).
>Jill came on board at the beginning of December, and as might be expected,
>she has already mounted an enthusiastic campaign or two!
>
>You will remember Jill from her work with the National Organization on
>Disability's FDR in a Wheelchair Campaign.  The triumph of that endeavor is
>well known, and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to tap into the
>resources that made Jill a very significant player on NOD's winning team.
>
>In addition, Jill has participated in projects with the Army Exceptional
>Family Member Program, Americans with Disabilities Vote, On a Roll Radio,
>and TASH.  She has traveled to Europe as an American disability rights
>delegate representing Mobility International, USA, and serves on the Board
>of Directors of the World Association of Persons with disABILITIES.
>
>Through her many efforts to create equality of opportunity on behalf of
>children with disabilities, Jill has earned a very positive reputation as a
>spirited advocate. As the mother of four children, two of whom have
Cerebral
>Palsy, her dedication and commitment are easily understood, yet seldom
>matched.  Jill was recently awarded the 'Making a Difference Award' from
the
>Parent Education & Advocacy Training Centers of Virginia.
>
>Obviously, we are delighted to have the good fortune of adding to our
superb
>staff yet another individual who personifies UCP's tenet "Advancing the
>Independence of People with Disabilities".  If you haven't already, I
expect
>you will probably be hearing from Jill soon in her new role as United
>Cerebral Palsy of Washington DC and Northern Virginia's Development
>Director. Please join us in welcoming her!
>
>Warmest Regards,
