The Dis:Course Team
Dis:Course have a number of people who contribute to running the project: |
| Andrea McCombie-Parker - CEO |
 |
Andrea has been CEO at The Ark since Jan 2003. Previously she worked in finance, then for a not for profit organisation: it was there she discovered where her interest lay. She is currently completing a psychology degree. Her studies have included subjects such as cognitive development and autism. Two of her children have disabilities.
She has held key roles in voluntary sector in Bracknell. She sits on the Access Advisory Panel and the In Control Panel.
Andrea believes that Dis:Course will empower disabled people, not only by providing information but also by signposting them to the groups and services that will equip them with the tools they need to make choices about their lives. She believes that it is important that disabled people play a significant part in both the management and the day-to-day running of the project. |
