Norm Thom joined the Board of Directors in 2018 and serves as Treasurer. He has been aware of PEAK and its mission for many years but became involved when board member Gerry Olvey contacted him about joining the board. Norm has a desire to include individuals with disabilities in their schools and communities and has become more aware of and involved in working on these issues since joining PEAK. Norm has a daughter with the rare Cohen Syndrome who has had a fuller and happier life because she has been included in her schools and community. Norm is a retired criminal defense lawyer who has a love of traveling, reading, and golfing. He enjoys working with students and has spent over 25 years volunteering as a lawyer coach and mentor for the high school Mock Trial program. Norm is grateful that his wife, Lori, is also involved in advocacy for disability related issues and that his other two children are very supportive of their older sister.
