Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I hope you enjoy learning about some of the incredible work being done at the Human Development Institute as you read our Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2018. HDI proudly serves as Kentucky’s Center on Disability at the University of Kentucky. 2018 was a year of exciting growth and statewide and national leadership at our Institute. This annual report highlights some of the accomplishments at HDI throughout the year; vital work to promote employment, health and wellness, independence, and postsecondary opportunities; a snapshot of our funding allocations at HDI; and spotlights on staff, students, and those we serve.

I hope you enjoy seeing a sample of our most recent work over the past year. We are looking forward to even more progress in 2019 as new grants and initiatives take root. As always, thank you for your support and for your partnership in helping to build brighter tomorrows and a more inclusive world.

Most sincerely,

Dr. Kathy Sheppard-Jones

Executive Director
