The Research and Training Center on Community Living (RTC) created this glowing tribute to Jerry Walsh, who started with The Arc in 1955 as Executive Director of the Minneapolis Association for Retarded Children. As a leader of The Arc in Minnesota, he was instrumental in developing a strong advocacy organization for persons with developmental disabilities and their families. He also was a catalyst for change. Because of Jerry’s early and ongoing leadership, individuals with developmental disabilities and their families have dramatically better lives.
