Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet


Annual Meeting & Awards Banquet

ASM's Autism Meeting & Awards Banquet was held on September 27th at the Senator Inn, Augusta. This event marked an important transition this year as the organization welcomed new board members and bid farewell to outgoing members. ASM highlighted the dedication and hard work of individuals who have played a pivotal role in advancing the mission of supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

The new board members bring a wealth of expertise and fresh perspectives to guide the organization into its next chapter, ensuring that innovative strategies are implemented to serve the needs of those affected by autism. As we reflect on the contributions of outgoing members, we are grateful for their tireless efforts in advocating for inclusivity and empowerment within our community.

This event serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to fostering understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals with Autism and their families.

After the Board Commitee's reports, an awards ceremony was held to honor those that have gone above and beyond to enrich the lives of individuals with Autism.
