The mission of the annual Montgomery County Resource Expo is threefold: to promote a better quality of life for people with disabilities in Montgomery County, to provide access to information and resources from a wide variety of agencies and organizations, and to support the family members, friends, teachers, and other community members who make it all possible.

In “The Road Not Taken”, Robert Frost says, “Two Roads diverged in a yellow wood,…”. Amid the current coronavirus pandemic, the planning team came upon two roads: hold the Resource Expo virtually or do nothing. The tried and true path, the one people have relied on twice a year for twenty years held at both ends of the county, was suddenly blocked.

The planning team, undeterred, embraced the path less traveled. As Steve Jobs once said, “innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity not a threat.” The team took this large scale, “live” event and, through a virtual “board”, has made it accessible 24/7 to a broader audience! All now have immediate access (and on an ongoing basis) to contact information, resource booklets, video profiles of agencies, etc.

The planning team, in cooperation with its county-wide partners, embraced the opportunity to make a change for the better.
