About Us

Mission Statement

At The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL), we believe in a world of dignity, opportunity and community inclusion for all people. In fact, our commitment to this belief is renewed and strengthened each day as we work to provide vision and leadership to human services organizations world wide. Through our services, publications and public presence, we establish real connections between disabilities’ theory and practice and help those who work with people with disabilities and people with mental illness take the important step from innovative ideas to everyday action.

Our mission, quite simply, is to provide leadership for greater world-wide inclusion and quality of life for people with disabilities. We are committed to continue this work each day until this vision is a reality.
