Rhonda White is a disability advocate, family ambassador, trainer, and community connector. She is the mother of four beautiful children of whom her youngest daughter has multiple support needs. The needs of her daughter influenced her entry into the world of disabilities and advocacy.
As a parent advocate for her daughter, Ms. White fully exercises her drive and passion in family advocacy in roles from a Resource Specialist to a Family and Community Engagement Liaison at Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities providing information, resources, and local and national training to improve support systems for families. For over 10 years at Quality Trust, Ms. White has extended her role to an active community liaison and a compelling presenter and facilitator.
She instinctively puts her audience at ease and engages them in meaningful discussion on issues affecting the quality of life for families and their family members with a disability throughout their lifespan. Ms. White's expertise is in hearing issues and in finding solutions and creating strategies for families to experience a good life in their communities. She participates as a member of local parent support and advocacy groups and holds leadership roles on both local and national committees and councils.
Presently, Ms. White continues to demonstrate her commitment to the sustainability of families through the establishment of the Quality Trust Family Ties of DC, a new DC parent matching program to connect parents of children with disabilities for information, resources, and emotional support.
