Boards: Vice chairman of the board at Independence First and chairman of the board for The Ability Center
Scott Luber has had a successful professional career despite having muscular dystrophy and being dependent on a ventilator.
Luber currently serves as vice chairman of the board at Independence First and chairman of the board for The Ability Center. His leadership on both boards has helped create collaborative opportunities for people with disabilities, according to the organizations’ executive directors.
Luber has served Independence First for 32 years in various capacities, and he joined The Ability Center’s board six years ago.
“Scott was part of a recent effort resulting in a historic court case clarifying Wisconsin’s voting laws,” said Marci Boucher, executive director of Independence First. “He was part of a lawsuit in federal court challenging barriers that made it unclear if people with disabilities could get assistance submitting their ballots during elections. Last November, Scott’s story and the arguments of the other plaintiffs was convincing enough to win the case. Now people with disabilities can have assistance, allowing equal access to voting.”
