It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amber Keohane. Amber was a member of the DCATP Advisory Council for many years. She was a dedicated advocate for independent living and peer support and had a tremendous impact on the individuals she served. Amber will be deeply missed and remembered always. Our hearts go out to her family, friends and colleagues.
