Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities (BCBDD ) says, “Community Outreach Advocate Courtney Hineman has made it her professional and personal mission to advocate for inclusion in the developmental disability community.”
This interview highlights Courtney’s recent advocacy work in D.C. with the U.S. Congress and at the Ohio Statehouse.
In April, Courtney took her advocacy on the road to Washington, D.C., to attend the Disability Policy Seminar and Advocacy Day. “While in D.C., Courtney met many fellow advocates, shared her story, and explained why disability policies are vital to the developmental disability community with several U.S. legislators.” The purpose of the “Hill Visits” is to speak directly with state congressional delegations about the high-priority issues affecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Watch as Courtney and the BCBDD‘s public relations coordinator, Cassie Mattia sit down for an interview where Courtney dives into her Washington, D.C., trip and her latest Ohio Developmental Disability Council meeting in Columbus.
Cassie Mattia is the President and Publisher of Loveland Magazine. Courtney is on the Board of the Ohio Developmental Disability Council, the Community Outreach Advocate for the BCBDD, and hosts “Courtney Explains It All” here on the pages of Loveland Magazine.
