Project Title

Longview Community Disability Committee

Project Description

The City of Longview, Angus’ hometown and current residence, has never had a disability committee to address the needs of its community members. Angus wants to collaborate and plan with city leaders to connect those with disabilities to share their experiences for a better community for everyone. Angus plans to model her committee after the examples of other local East Texas cities like Tyler and Nacogdoches, which already have these committees, as well as the Texas Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities.
