Michele has served in the non-profit industry her entire career and is thrilled to be at a juncture where her professional and personal life have joined on this path she has found at PEAK. Yes, she’s uprooting her son and husband and venturing across the country to jump aboard PEAK in the middle of a pandemic! If that doesn’t demonstrate enthusiasm and commitment to you, I’m not sure what to say! Like Barb, Michele is now merging her professional experience with her personal life. PEAK is the community of people in Colorado and beyond who yearn for better opportunities, equity, and inclusion.īarb will continue her commitment to our organization and our community as she retains her role in the Region D Parent Technical Assistance Center, in which PEAK works with 26 other Parent Training and Information Centers and Community Parent Resource Centers in the western United States.Įnter Michele. PEAK is the lighting of an ever-growing fire. It is progress each time we show a parent a new way to look at their child and give them hope for a future filled with possibilities. It is the lighting of a flame every time an individual, a parent, or a professional in the disability community is touched by what we do. For Barb and our great staff, this work is the work of our hearts. PEAK has become known as a national leader for its work in inclusion, and the Conference on Inclusive Education has drawn international attendance. They have blazed the trail on this road as we continue to do for those who follow behind us in the next generation.īarb has led this ship for 34 years and her impact has been felt far and wide. To work alongside her and Beth and Shirley and all of the other longstanding PEAK staff who molded me and countless others in our own personal journeys is truly an honor. Like many, I am grateful to be a part of the work she has created. In 1986, Barb followed her heart to not only fight for what was right for her child but create a system of support that allows the rest of us to do the same. We are excited to announce Michele Williers’ appointment as our new Executive Director! PEAK’s core values remain the same, and we expect them to grow deeper roots and strengthen as the passing of the baton occurs.

For many, it’s hard to imagine PEAK without Barb’s leadership, but this legacy is built on a strong foundation. Barbara Buswell, PEAK’s co-founder and longtime Executive Director, is taking a different role in our organization. The season at PEAK Parent Center is also changing. Can you hear the aspen leaves quaking in the breeze? Can you see the magnificent autumnal palette that will soon adorn our colorful Colorado landscape? The more tolerable temperatures of fall are finally here. One of the earliest snowstorms in state history has passed. Crisp cool mornings have made their way into the forecast.
