The League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge will host Marian Wildgruber on Tuesday, December 6. Wildgruber will discuss her work with the Mobility Justice Working Group and the new Disability Advisory Board for the City of Oak Ridge. Her topics will include outreach, priorities, paratransit, and sidewalk/crosswalk infrastructure, a press release said.
This event will be held at 12 p.m. Tuesday at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Church Social Hall. It will also be available via Zoom. A link for Zoom access will be distributed later. You should bring your lunch if you want one. Lunches from The Soup Kitchen will be available beginning in 2023, the press release said.
Wildgruber grew up in Seattle and got her bachelor’s degree in English at the University of Washington. She worked for the U.S. Forest Service for 12 years in Washington, Oregon, California, and Washington, D.C., during which time she got her master’s degree in public administration, the press release said.
She married and moved to Munich, Germany, for seven years and stayed home raising her two sons.
The family moved to Oak Ridge in 2006.
Wildgruber was very active in school and church and volunteer work, and for the past three years, she has started spending her time and energy on disability advocacy, the press release said. She is currently chair of the new Disability Advisory Board in Oak Ridge and has started a Low Vision Resource Group for Oak Ridge and surrounding communities.
