Despite the torrential rain that fell this past Saturday, more than 40 such students with disabilities made their way to the Spangler Center at Harvard Business School to attend this years forum as delegates from throughout Massachusetts. The event was hosted by the Office of the Assistant to the President, as Marie Trottier, University Compliance Officer and University Disability Coordinator, co-chairs the planning committee for the Youth Leadership Forum as part of her role as co-chair of the Massachusetts Governors Commission on Employment of People with Disabilities.https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2004/09/6-youth1-450-2.jpg
