The Consortium joins the Pennsylvania disability community in honoring the life and work of Graham Mulholland.

Born in Scotland, Mulholland served as executive director of the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) for 22 years, retiring in 2019. Mulholland was an ardent advocate for Pennsylvanians with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and pushed for advocacy agencies to work together toward a common goal.

Lisa Tesler, the current PADDC executive director, remembered Mulholland in an obituary published on the PADDC website as a “brilliant thinker and visionary [who] believed that people with disabilities do not need to change, rather, it is the broad community and society that needs to change to include all people who are marginalized.”
