When it comes to disability issues, disabled people are the experts. This is why having disabled people in leadership roles is essential to both informing and leading on issues that affect them. And, having disabled leaders ‘at the table’ on discussions that affect everyone means that decisions made at that table will contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.
