"It is evident that Paul Aronsohn's lived experience as a family member shaped his vision as N.J.'s first Ombudsman for Individuals with IDD and their Families. Paul's seven years of service has been distinguished by his determined resourcefulness as an advocate; his pursuit of solutions for priority issues that he and others raised publicly or privately; his comprehensive annual reports, editorials, and public testimony; the tremendous amount of time he devoted to his job; the Ombudsman office team building; the knowledge he acquired and generously shared; the respect and compassion he showed, his ability to foster a sense of community, and most importantly, the lives that he has changed for the better."
