| Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts This is no ordinary pageant! It is a competition based on personal interviews, platform speech presentations and on-stage interviews to find a state and national spokeswoman for the disabled. The mission of the Ms. Wheelchair America Program and the individual state programs is to provide an opportunity for women of achievement who utilize wheelchairs to successfully educate and advocate for individuals with disabilities. Through a chosen representative, Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts educates and advocates for individuals with physical disabilities in order to influence social change for all Massachusetts residents. Ms. Wheelchair Massachusetts carries out this mission by educating leaders and local communities by promoting awareness, advocacy and change in public policy for individuals with physical disabilities.
