This project reminds us that our commitment to building stronger, more inclusive communities is working. As thought leaders, we must keep innovating and planning to ensure that people with disabilities, who age more quickly and require more intervention, have what they need to age with dignity.

We are thrilled to announce that Blaise Gomez, lead reporter for News 12 Hudson Valley, will be the emcee for the 2024 Loving Arms Awards Dinner! Blaise is not only a highly respected journalist and a three-time Emmy award nominee, but she is also a fierce advocate for children, families, and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her powerful reporting has earned her an Edward Murrow award, recognition from the New York Press Club, and the title of "Best TV News Anchor" by Hudson Valley Magazine for the last two consecutive years. As a former NYS foster child and survivor of both childhood abuse and domestic violence, Blaise's personal story of resilience, paired with her professional work, makes her an incredible role model in our community.
