Able SC Newsletter

Note From Executive Director, Kimberly Tissot Wow - this year has been amazing for us so far! First, we are thrilled to announce that our name is officially Able South Carolina!  Our new name stands for the fact that we [people with disabilities] are able to live independent, active, and self-determined lives. Able SC’s mission is still about the consumers we serve; empowering them to reach their highest level of independence. In addition to our core services, we also have new programs for youth, assistive technology, community trainings and more!   In February we welcomed our new Assistant Director, Jerri Davison. Jerri comes to us with years of disability rights and community inclusion experience. She is a perfect fit and we all feel lucky to have her on our team! Jerri works in both offices but will be primarily located in our Upstate office.  We also have a new satellite office in Union County. We are excited to have a physical presence in this welcoming and inviting community. Our organization has come a long way since our opening in 1994, and we are committed to continue to grow and make real change for people with disabilities. I am truly honored to be a part of this organization and work with such a dedicated team! We hope you enjoy our first Able SC Newsletter. Warmly, Kimberly Tissot Executive Director We don't just say it. We live it. Able South Carolina is a Center for Independent Living (CIL) - a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability nonprofit that provides an array of independent living services to people of all ages with all types of disabilities, in 23 counties in South Carolina.
