Anna Fedewa

A Katy, Texas native, Anna has spent her career in public service working to achieve a more equitable and just society for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. After graduating from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Special Education, a minor in psychology, and a graduate certificate in nonprofit management, Anna joined the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) in Washington, D.C. While at NDSS, she held several roles that allowed her the opportunity to engage with and lead federal, state, and grassroots efforts to transform domestic policy to better meet the needs of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Anna’s passion for advocacy and disability rights grew from the friendships she made with peers with disabilities as a young child and was further cultivated during her time teaching high school special education and working with her alma mater’s inclusive post-secondary program. In her free time, Anna volunteers with PALS inclusive summer camps, sits on the board of the 501(c)3 nonprofit STRIDES, and enjoys traveling, reading, and ballet.
