According to Angela Calzone, president and CEO, Inroads, “We are filled with such pride and joy! Not just for our remarkable and super impressive students, but to the staff, parents and community that work so diligently and tirelessly so our students reach their goals.”
Paul Aronsohn, New Jersey ombudsman for Individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities and Their Families, and Gina P. Iosim, assistant prosecutor and director, Community Prosecution Division, Union County Prosecutor’s Office, both spoke and inspired the graduates as well as those in attendance. Inroads would also like to thank the political, business and community leaders who have supported Inroads and their programs.
