Meet Stacey Marcum! In November 2022, I chose to work for CRI because I was looking for a new challenge that would let me be more present in the community. I enjoy working with people and CRI seemed like a great place to make a difference! My favorite part of being the Business Development Coordinator is finding new projects to bring to our enterprise! It’s so fun to meet new people and build relationships at a variety of organizations in different industries. My role also gives me the opportunity to share our mission and the great things we have going on at CRI! When I am not working, I enjoy watching reality tv shows, playing sand volleyball and outdoor summer activities like walking, tubing, etc. Something unique that may surprise people about me, is that I was on a USA (USAAI) softball team back in 2013! Going to Australia and being able to represent the USA was a very surreal experience and one I will never forget!

#EndTheStereotypes #WorldDownSyndromeDay #AssumeThatICan One in every 700 babies (6,000 each year) in the US are born with Down syndrome. The 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome attend school, work, participate in decisions that affect them, have meaningful relationships, vote and contribute to society in many wonderful ways! https://lnkd.in/gqbCdUcm
