Message from the Executive Director,

Welcome to the March edition of Wheel World News! March is a big month for the AZSCIA. We have our 4th Annual Push Forward Conference! We have a great conference lined up this year. We hope to see everyone there on Friday, March 8th, 2019.

This month, our Spotlight Story is focused on our Push Forward Conference. Push Forward is an all-day interactive conference for individuals with SCI, family members, caregivers, and professionals. It is our biggest event of the year! To read more about the educational conference, view the agenda, and to sign up, visit pages 3-4. If you are wanting to become more involved this month in the SCI community, there are plenty of events happening this month that could help you with that. Read about all the upcoming events happening this March, including the Annual 'Let's Play Ball!' in the Current Events section on pages 5-6. For this month’s “Consumer Corner” segment, we are highlighting Alex Spartz, a senior at UA majoring in Aerospace Engineering . Read his personal and inspiring story on pages 7-12.

Our newsletter is for you, our community. We would love to hear how you think we could improve, change, or add to our newsletter. We are interested in anything you would like to share or comment on so please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
