Fulton County proclaims March 2026 Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
Summary
Fulton County commissioners signed a proclamation declaring March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and met with local disability services providers and consumers to mark the observance.
Fulton County commissioners on Feb. 24 approved and signed a proclamation declaring "March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month," commending the observance to county residents and recognizing the contributions of people with disabilities to community life. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the proclamation; the motion passed unanimously.
The signing brought together representatives from local disability service organizations and consumers, including Julie Dovey (Fulton County Human Services), Lorrie Miller and Lisa Grimes (The Arc of Franklin/Fulton Counties), Marissa Hockenberry (Occupational Services Inc.), Erica Ramsey (CRI), and Logan Crouse, identified in the record as a consumer of The Arc. The group posed for a photograph with the commissioners following the proclamation.
The proclamation text, as approved by the commissioners, states the county "becomes a better place when people with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities," and urges residents to observe the month. The record does not show a formal funding commitment tied to the proclamation. The commissioners did not record a separate vote tally beyond the meeting note that the motion was "all in favor."
