A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER, HACKIE REITMAN, M.D.:
|
|
This month I want to give a shout out to our new Executive Director - Sue Gottesman!
We are so fortunate that Sue has chosen to bring her strong marketing, branding, and management background from her years of experience with IBM and American Express to help further our impact here at Different Brains Inc. on behalf of neurodiversity.
As the proud mom of a child on the spectrum, she has long been a stalwart board member of the Broward Autism Foundation, and has been a volunteer on several other non-profit organizations. Sue sure "gets" that one size does NOT fit all. Every brain is like a snowflake. No two are alike.
Sue will be sharing her thoughts in upcoming newsletters and encourages all of YOU to ask questions or suggest topics for DB to cover. Simply reply to this email.
So thank you Sue for all you have done and continue to do to make society understand and embrace neurodiversity for the benefit of ALL of us! Welcome to Different Brains!
-Hackie Reitman, M.D.
President and Founder, Different Brains Inc.
