Celebrating a Decade of Impact: A Virtual Event with Lex Gillette
In April 2016, leaders from industry, academia, and the nonprofit sector came together to launch Teach Access. Ten years later, we invite you to celebrate a decade of impact with us, featuring Lex Gillette, the most decorated totally blind long jumper in U.S. Paralympic history, an acclaimed public speaker, and an author. Ten years later, we invite you to celebrate a decade of impact with us, featuring Lex Gillette, the most decorated totally blind long jumper in U.S. Paralympic history, an acclaimed public speaker, an author, and Teach Access board member.
Lex will share a powerful journey that weaves together the transformative force of accessibility, the resilience forged in his Paralympic triumphs, and the wisdom from his professional path. Together, he invites others to celebrate not just tools of access, but the profound potential unlocked when vision, perseverance, and opportunity rise as one.
