John Guingrich, Briljent’s Vice President of Government Solutions, was appointed by the governor to the Indiana Council on Independent Living (ICOIL). ICOIL is a key council that helps the state of Indiana access approximately $1.5 million in federal funds. The council works to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the same rights, choices, options, and control over choices in their lives as individuals without disabilities. John has devoted many years to this cause, and is excited to help ICOIL work towards the goal of establishing a solid vision for the organization as they seek sources of funding and partnership to improve the lives of people with disabilities. John’s exceptional career and background in government work will be an instrumental asset in this initiative. Congratulations John!
