In Memory of Michael Mills
Michael was a valuable member of the CAC. He felt that advocacy was important because it enables one’s needs to be met.
Michael enjoyed chatting and connecting with friends and was proud of the length of time he had been at his last job. His favorite local resource was Lane Transit District (LTD).
Michael is sorely missed by those at the UCEDD, especially his fellow CAC members.
