Sue Kattula Honored by Macomb County

Sue Kattula at the Macomb Hall of Fame Awards Dinner.

Earlier this month, Breaking Barriers Program Manager Sue Kattula was inducted into the Macomb Hall of Fame, which honors individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to improving the economic, family, and community life of those that live in Macomb County.

Kattula celebrates 12 years of significant contributions to the Foundation, starting as a case worker in 2011. With a passion for advocating on behalf of people with developmental disabilities, under Sue’s leadership, the Breaking Barriers program grew. With her unique vision, Sue filled in the gaps where services did not exist for adults arriving in the U.S. without knowledge of the language or the tools to navigate in their new country. The B.E.A.M. and H.E.A.L. projects serving those individuals who are blind or deaf were spearheaded by Sue to allow individuals to communicate, learn important life skills, find employment opportunities, and socialize.
