Howard McBroom was a dedicated leader in the disability community and envisioned a program in his name at Disability Voices United. He passed away on January 19, 2024. To honor his legacy and in fulfillment of his wish, DVU has established the Howard McBroom Fellowship Program, which empowers leaders with disabilities to educate self-advocates, family members, and professionals on the Self-Determination Program and other critical disability rights issues.

Please consider making a donation to support the Howard McBroom Fellowship Program. Your contribution will help continue Howard’s work by funding leadership development and advocacy efforts for people with disabilities. Any amount makes a difference, and we deeply appreciate your support in honoring his memory.
