BIO
Ron Ward lives in New London CT and has been an advocate for Social Justice for over 20 years. Educational accomplishments include being a graduate of Washington University School of Law School in St. Louis, MO and receiving a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Sacred Heart University in Fairfield CT. Ward believes in the vision of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. described by him in the “I Have A Dream” call to action. Ward seeks the realization of Dr. King's dream through creating meaningful opportunities for inclusion, understanding and empowerment.
In 1990 neighborhood organizing for political action was center stage when Ron joined New London People's Form, a local LGBTQ socio-political group providing a safe space and mutual support. Connecticut was on-track to enact legislation prohibiting discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations based on sexual orientation. Passage of the Connecticut Gay Civil
Rights Bill in 1991 ushered in a new era with Ward taking on reigns of responsibility through his volunteer service as Co-Director of the Connecticut Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights. Shortly thereafter, during the administration of Connecticut Governor Lowell P. Wicker, Ward accepted a position working as a Civil Rights Investigator with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Ron pursued his commitment to equal opportunity and developed specialized skills in the area of employment discrimination based on the disparate impact theory of Civil Right protections.
