AAPD is now accepting nominations for the 2007 HENRY B. BETTS AWARD.

Betts Award program, administered by AAPD, was created by the Prince Charitable Trusts and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in 1989 to annually honor individuals who have, in the course of their work, helped to lead the societal transformation that is producing dramatically better outcomes and higher expectations for the diverse groups that make up the disability community in the United States and around the world. Typically, one outstanding living individual is selected each year to receive The Henry B. Betts Award with an unrestricted $50,000 cash award at AAPD’s annual Leadership Gala in Washington, D.C.
