As we near the end of the year, we’re reflecting on our powerful legacy of service and the impact we’ve made for individuals with disabilities.

This month we're celebrating Native American Herit

This month we're celebrating Native American Heritage Month by sharing Native American Disability Advocates like, Cinda Hughes.

Cinda Hughes was born in Oklahoma as part of the Kiowa tribe. Starting in high school Cinda advocating for the rights of Native American children with disabilities which eventually led her to being appointed to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Advisory Council on Exceptional Children.

After graduating college Cinda held multiple advocacy positions at organizations like the Oklahoma State Legislature, the Office of Disability Employment Policy, the National Congress of American Indians, and CANAR.

"It is important to be active, and it is important to be vocal because people have misconceptions and preconceptions about the lives of those who live with disabilities and unless you are vocal in talking to people about what those particular challenges are and what those particular struggles may be, it is very difficult to try to change things, to try to make the lives of those with disabilities more productive." - Cinda Hughes.

In this episode of Life Without Limits we talk wit

In this episode of Life Without Limits we talk with, @UCPHuntsville & Tennessee Valley CEO, Cheryl Smith about her career, a life of volunteerism, and the future of her affiliate.

Smith got her start at UCP of Huntsville, as a volunteer, answering phones for the annual telethon during her freshman year in college. Soon after graduating, she was asked to join the board of directors. Less than a year later—though she had been considering a job in the aerospace industry—she was hired on as the organization’s executive director.

It was supposed to be a six-month interim assignment. She's led the UCP affiliate now for 37 years.

Earlier this year, Smith was picked as the winner of the Kathy O. Maul Leadership Award. The award is presented annually to an exemplary affiliate executive in memory of Kathy O. Maul, the late executive director of UCP of Suffolk, whose leadership and commitment to serving people with disabilities and their families left a lasting legacy.
