The 2022 D-30 Disability Impact List

 
 

Now in its third year, the D-30 Disability Impact List honors the unique accomplishments of our most impactful community members globally through a nomination and selection process.

After receiving almost 250 nominations for more than 125 incredible leaders with disabilities globally, we are pleased to present the 3rd D-30 Disability Impact List. We know that this list is not comprehensive of all the disabled people doing great work, we hope that this can be a catalyst for continuing to advance disability inclusion, leadership, and representation at all levels.
