Commissioners recognize Hillsborough County Alliance for People with Disabilities for its service to the community
During the July 16 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Board declared July 26 as Americans with Disabilities Act 35th Anniversary Awareness Day in Hillsborough County. Sandra Sroka with the Hillsborough County Alliance for People with Disabilities accepted the proclamation.
For 30 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act has served to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Countless organizations and partnerships across the nation rely on the ADA as they advocate on behalf of people with disabilities. One of those partnerships, the Hillsborough County and City of Tampa Alliance for Citizens with Disabilities, has made tremendous strides in serving these needs in the community.
After accepting the recognition, Sroka thanked the Board for its commitment to supporting the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"Most importantly, [I thank the Board] for recognizing the invaluable contributions of people with disabilities and those who tirelessly advocate for their inclusion, access, and rights in all areas of society," she said.
