ACCSES Welcomes Terry R. Farmer as New CEO
 

 
The ACCSES Board of Directors is pleased to announce Terry R. Farmer as its new CEO. Following an extensive search for the candidate who possesses the skills and knowledge required to lead ACCSES, Mr. Farmer rose among the applicants to become the clear choice of the Board.
 
“Through his former positions in service to individuals with disabilities including most recently the President/CEO of the Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Inc. and President/CEO of Combat Injuries Project, Inc., Mr. Farmer has garnered the respect and admiration of the rehabilitation provider community. He brings to ACCESS an ongoing drive to continually push for solutions that enable individuals with disabilities to exercise their choice of lifestyle and pursuit of fulfillment. He has a proven track record to back it up. Mr. Farmer’s experience and passion made his selection a confident decision for the Board!” -- Brenda Maxey, ACCSES Board Chair
 
Upon accepting the appointment, Mr. Farmer stated, “It is an honor and privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of helping lead our national ACCSES campaign. The gift of serving individuals with disabilities, their families, and the providers who support them is both humbling and motivating. We have much to do in these challenging times. In this current climate of adversity we will seek out and find opportunity, and we will make it abundantly clear to our communities that our past results are worthy of continued support. We promise to be good stewards of public funding for individuals with disabilities and to advance the critical value our worthy mission adds to society. We will fight for individuals, parents, and community organizations who have committed their lives for a better tomorrow!”
 
Mr. Farmer will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of ACCSES in Washington D.C., and will coordinate our advocacy program with the ACCSES Legislative Team.  He is transitioning into his new role over the next several weeks as he relocates to the D.C. area.
