OPWDD Commissioner visit AHRC Nassau and tours Wheatley FarmsAHRC Nassau was pleased to host the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) Commissioner Kerri E. Neifeld for a visit and town hall-style discussion with self-advocates, parents, and staff. Neifeld first toured the Brookville campus, Wheatley Farms & Arts Center (in development), as well as the AHRC Greenhouse. Neifeld then connected with the AHRC Nassau community on a number of topics from how OPWDD is working toward increased economic justice for DSPs to how her previous work as a social worker informs her current role. Following the discussion, Neifeld was presented with a portrait painted by resident artist and self-advocate, Richard Infante.
