Gratitude!
Lainey’s entire trip to Canada was conceived and organized by David Lepofsky, a Canadian lawyer, disability rights activist, and friend who took time off from his tireless advocacy efforts to support Structured Negotiation. David is a Visiting Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School and chair of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance. Follow David on Twitter to learn more about disability rights advocacy in Canada.
Thanks also to each organization hosting events, and especially to Osgoode Hall Law School for sponsoring the trip, and to Laverne Jacobs of Windsor Law School and the school’s Disability Law Student Society for supporting the Windsor part of the trip.
