Leadership Values and Vision: Transforming Lives and Organizations
About us
If we are going to make quality lives for adults with developmental disabilities available on a large scale, we need to assure a rich supply of skilled leaders who are passionate about quality, have the management and financial skills needed to run solid not-for-profit businesses and government agencies, are capable of assembling top-notch teams of caring staff, and have a solid commitment to progressive values. Today's leaders in the intellectual/developmental disabilities field entered the field with a passion for social justice. The National Leadership Consortium on Developmental Disabilities supports the development of next generation of leaders. We work in partnership with the major national developmental disability organizations to offer a variety of short-term, intensive leadership development experiences, a resource-rich website, an on-line community of practice, technical assistance and research on best practices and innovations in disability leadership.

Last weekend we had the opportunity to celebrate Nancy Weiss and Steven Eidelman 🎉 and their remarkable careers and impact on our field. On the rooftop of the Maryland Science Center 🌇 with many of their friends and loved ones 💕 (and with the well-wishes of those who couldn't be there in person) we toasted 🥂, ate 🍽️, and danced 💃🕺 in honor of the Consortium's founders. Those of you who have attended or spoken at a Leadership Institute, partnered with us on systems transformation efforts, conducted research with us, and more, know and have experienced the impact of Steve and Nancy's vision almost 20 years ago to start an organization dedicated to ensuring that the next and the next and the next generations of disability sector leaders would have the knowledge, skills, values, and connections needed to continue to move our systems forward. And those of you who have had the privilege to work with and know Steve and Nancy before the Consortium was even a kernel of an idea- how lucky! 🍀 Kristen said it best in the Consortium's toast 🥂 to Nancy and Steve, John Maxwell once said “Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on their world.” 🌍 Although we would argue that you, Steve and Nancy, are anything but ordinary, we do know that you have and will continue to make an extraordinary impact on the world, the field, and all those around you. Thanks for letting us all be a part of it with you. 🙌 Here’s to you! 🎉 #LeadershipMatters #DisabilityAdvocacy #MakingADifference #CelebratingLegends #ThankYouSteveAndNancy #LeadershipInstitute #CommunityImpact #TransformingSystems #ExtraordinaryLeaders #Gratitude
