Ep #33: Advocacy, Public Policy, and the 1% Ask with Bosma Enterprises’ Lise Pace

  • Summary

  • Dr. Hoby Wedler welcomes a familiar voice back to the podcast this week as he sits down with the Executive Vice President at Bosma Enterprises, Lise Pace, live from the 2024 NIB Public Policy Forum in Washington, D.C. Lise shares her remarkable journey from a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa in her early 20s to the thriving and fulfilling career she enjoys today. Despite the initial shock of the diagnosis, Lise’s path led her to Bosma Enterprises where she found the opportunities and resources to reclaim her life and career, finding both purpose and success every step of the way.

    As the conversation unfolds, you’ll hear all about Lise’s involvement in NIB’s Advocates for Leadership and Employment program, how it highlights the power of self-advocacy, and the impact it can have on shaping legislation. Tune in to discover the significance of asking Congress to set a specific statutory goal for the AbilityOne® Program, and the potential impact of legislative changes on employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired. Lise emphasizes the importance of advocacy not only at the federal level but also at the state and local levels, showcasing Bosma’s commitment to creating jobs.
