Celebrating Universal Design And Accessibility For All With Disability Advocates of Kent County (10-19-25)

In this episode, host Phil Tower talks with Dave Bulkowski, JD, Executive Director of Disability Advocates of Kent County.

Dave spoke with us about the annual “Invest In Ability” Event & Dinner on Thursday, November 6, at the Beautiful new Silva, in downtown Grand Rapids.
Invest in Ability celebrates the accomplishments of community members, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and staff who are the key holders to unlocking opportunities, opening doors, and removing barriers.

Each year, Disability Advocates highlights major milestones and achievements that define our work to accomplish independence and empower people with disabilities.

This year’s event will honor Ferris State University’s Kendall College of Art and Design.

This year’s theme, “The Art & Design of Inclusion: Creating a Barrier-Free Community,” highlights the powerful role that thoughtful design and creativity play in making our world more accessible and welcoming to everyone.
