NAB Mourns the Loss of Chuck Graham

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and NAB member Chuck Graham. Chuck was a tireless advocate who believed in the call to service and the responsibility of us all to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone through policy and practice. Having been elected to both the Missouri House of Representatives  and the Missouri State Senate, Chuck was a constant reminder the Midwestern resolve and ability to offer tenacious help with a smile.

Chuck was the Co-Director for the Great Plains ADA Center at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the Chair of the Columbia Disabilities Commission, Vice Chair of the Missouri Inclusive Housing Development Corporation and a founding member of Anthem’s National Advisory Board (NAB) on Improving Health Care Services for Older Adults and People with Disabilities.

We offer our condolences to the myriad of family and friends that he leaves behind and count ourselves fortunate to be among those who had the pleasure to live in his circle and work beside him. We will miss his tenacious and no nonsense approach to disability policy and inclusion as well as his sense of humor and resolve to get the job done.
