Last week, the National Council on Disability (NCD) announced that Senate Health, Education, Labor, Pensions Committee (HELP Committee) staffer, Aaron Bishop, will become NCD’s new Executive Director in November. Mr. Bishop currently works for Senator Enzi (R-WY) as a Professional Staff Member on the HELP Committee, and has almost 20 years of experience working on disability issues in both the public and private sectors. CEC has worked closely with him during his tenure on Capitol Hill on various special education policies.
NCD is an independent federal agency composed of 15 Presidential appointees. It provides advice to the President, Congress, and executive branch agencies to promote policies, programs, practices, and procedures that guarantee equal opportunity for all individuals with disabilities. CEC congratulates Mr. Bishop and looks forward to working with him, and the rest of NCD, to promote educational opportunities for children and youth with disabilities.
