Dear Ms. Taylor:
On behalf of the Board of Commissioners and staff of the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, as well as the people of Chicago, I want to thank you for serving as a member of the Advisory Council on Women.
With your guidance as the Council's liaison on autism nd exceptional learners, the Advisory Council of Women was able to significantly raise awareness and improve parental and public engagement on autism and the hidden disabilities of school aged children.
I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank you again for everything.
Sincerely,
Rahm Emanuel
