A Message from CEO Erik Geizer (Continued) CHAPTER EVENTS
2023 FALL BOARD OF GOVENORS MEETING
In Septmber, I attended The Arc of Renselaer’s Annual Gala.
We are excited for the 2023 Fall Board of Governors Meeting on Friday, October 27, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany. The meeting is being held in person for the first time since 2019 - and we can’t wait to see everyone! This year, we have a special guest speaker, Christian Tasso. Christian is an Italian photographer whose work aims to combat stereotypes about disability around the world. With his ongoing project, "No One Excluded", Tasso has captured portraits of people with disabilities in 16 countries. His work presents the subjects' individual identities and stories through a collaborative process that promotes inclusion, celebrates diversity, and raises vital questions about representation. The projet was published in a limited-edition book in partnership with the European Union, and has been exhibited in many venues, including the Palais des Nations, the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva. We are thrilled to have him share his work, and his perspective on inclusion and representation around the world.
And I even rode a mechanical bull at The Arc Lexington’s (Schoharie, Fulton) Night Out western event! It has been a pleasure and an inspiration to visit our Chapters and celebrate the incredible work they do every day.
