As a long-time professional in the non-profit industry, Caroline Bilal has always demonstrated a deep commitment to solving issues of social injustice. A parent of a child with rare genetic syndrome called Syngap1, she is also the co-founder of MyConnect - a tech startup that aims to connect special needs families to supports and programs more efficiently through an online program/provider directory and to other parents with kids who have similar challenges more strategically. Caroline was first inspired to launch MyConnect as a result of her own struggle to navigate the wealth of information and connect to local programs and support providers. As a parent advocate and with a deep understanding of how difficult it is to navigate disability services, she is eager to continue to support families in the hope that one day all special needs parents will be able to access information with ease! She lives with her husband and 4 children in Chappaqua, NY.
