Ms Wheelchair America

The mission of the Ms Wheelchair America Program is to provide an opportunity for women of achievement who utilize mobility chairs to successfully educate and advocate for individuals with disabilities.

• Be between the ages of 21 and 60 years old

• Be a United States citizen.

• Utilize a wheelchair for 100% of daily mobility

Rather, it is a competition to select the most accomplished and articulate spokesperson for the millions of Americans with disabilities.

The selected representative must be able to communicate both the needs and the accomplishments of her constituency to the general public, the business community and the legislature.

Each year, the crowned winner has the opportunity to travel, visit advocacy groups, make public appearances and conduct media interviews as she carries out her responsibilities of:

• Promoting awareness of the need to eliminate architectural and perceptual barriers.

• Informing the able-bodied public of the achievements of people with disabilities across the nation.

• Enhance awareness of the program by assisting in the establishment of programs in all the states.
