omg i'm so hyped for lynn noren!!! she's literally changing lives with her work at rise 🤩💪 i mean, the fact that she's being recognized for her disability community work is just insane! i've heard amazing things about her leadership style and how she's driven meaningful change in the industry... can't wait to see what's next for this amazing woman 🚀💫
 
I'm glad they're giving it up for Lynn Noren, but I gotta wonder... is this just another way to tell people with disabilities that they need to be recognized by the community? Like, what's next? A parade in her honor every year on her birthday? 🤔 It's not like she's doing anything wrong, but sometimes I feel like these awards are just a formality.

And don't get me wrong, Rise is a legit org and all that, but I've seen some of their ads and they can come across a bit... preachy. "Innovative" solutions that still seem kinda basic to me. But hey, maybe I'm just missing the point 🤷‍♀️. What's your take on it?
 
I'm loving seeing more ppl like Lynn Noren making a real difference 🌟! It's amazing how one person can have such a profound impact on so many lives, especially when it comes to accessibility & inclusion. Rise is doing some incredible work & I'm hyped to see what the future holds for them 💪🏼🎉. The MOHR Legacy Leader Award is definitely well-deserved - Lynn's dedication to empowering ppl with disabilities is truly inspiring 🙌. Can't wait to see more people like her taking the lead in creating positive change 🌈💕!
 
🤦‍♂️ I mean, can we talk about how this award ceremony is just a highlight reel for the organization? They only share the good stuff, right? What about all the behind-the-scenes struggles that Lynn Noren faced during her time at Rise? 🤔 I'm sure she didn't get everything handed on a silver platter. Also, MOHR being proud of her legacy feels a bit too scripted to me. Can't they just acknowledge that it's a collective effort and not make it all about one person? 🙄 It's great that Noren is getting recognition, but let's not forget the people who worked with her and supported her throughout the years. 🤝
 
🙌 Lynn Noren totally deserves this award, she's been doing amazing work for the disability community for years. As a CEO of Rise, she's made such a huge difference in people's lives, especially when it comes to employment services and social support. I'm not surprised she's getting recognized as a MOHR Legacy Leader - her passion and commitment are truly inspiring. She's an icon in the disability advocacy space 🙏💖
 
So cool 🤩 that Lynn Noren is getting this award! She's been doing amazing work for people with disabilities, and it's awesome to see her recognized for it 💪. Rise is like, a really big deal in the disability community, and I'm so glad they're giving her credit for all she's done 🙌. It's not just about the work itself, but also how she's made everyone feel seen and heard 👂. She's literally changing lives, one person at a time 💕. Can't wait to see what the future holds for her! 🌟
 
omg she's so amazing 💖! i feel so inspired by her work at Rise, i know how hard it can be to find jobs with disabilities, but Lynn has been a game changer 🤩! she really gets what it takes to make a difference in people's lives and is always looking for ways to improve things. as a student myself, i wish i had role models like her more often 😔, she shows us that we can make a real impact when we care about others.
 
🙌 She's definitely deserving of that award, I think it's awesome that she's being recognized for her contributions to the disability community 🤝. As a CEO, you'd expect someone to have a strong impact, but what's impressive is how Noren has continued to drive positive change even after leaving Rise 👍. Her passion and commitment to creating a more inclusive society are truly admirable 💕. It's not just about her own legacy, though - it's about the ripple effect she's had on the community 🌊.
 
💯 love this 🤩, finally someone getting the recognition they deserve for their hard work! Lynn Noren sounds like an absolute rockstar 💥, her dedication to the disability community is truly inspiring. It's about time we shine a light on people like her who are making a real difference in the world 🌎. I'm so glad MOHR is giving it up for her - she's definitely leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations! 🙏
 
Ugh, I'm so tired of all these "awards" being handed out left and right 🙄. It's like everyone's just trying to collect as many accolades as possible without actually doing anything worthwhile in the first place. I mean, I guess Lynn Noren is great and all (she should be), but let's not forget that it takes a village to make an organization like Rise successful. The real heroes are the employees who work tirelessly behind the scenes without getting any recognition 🤝.

And can we please just get rid of these over-the-top ceremonies? They're just a distraction from what really matters – making actual progress for the community 🙄. I'm all for celebrating successes, but let's keep it real and keep it low-key. Maybe just a nice quiet dinner at Rise instead of some fancy awards ceremony with all the bells and whistles 🎉.
 
just watched that link on lynn noren winning the 2025 mohr legacy leader award 🎉💖 it's so inspiring to see her dedication to the disability community, i mean she's been doing this work for ages and its clear that it means everything to her 👏 rise is making such a difference in ppl lives, employment services and social services are lifesavers for some people 🙌
 
I'm so proud of Lynn Noren for being recognized for her amazing work with the disability community 🙌🏼💕. As someone who's seen firsthand the importance of accessibility and inclusion, I think it's awesome that she's using her experience to make a real difference. I've worked with some organizations that claim to care about people with disabilities but don't follow through - Lynn Noren's work at Rise is actually doing it 🙏💪.

Of course, there's still so much work to be done, and we shouldn't get too caught up in celebrating individual achievements without acknowledging the systemic issues that keep people with disabilities marginalized. We need more than just leaders like Lynn Noren - we need a fundamental shift in how society approaches disability rights 🤝🌎.

Still, I'm hopeful that initiatives like this award will inspire more people to take action and create positive change. Let's hope that Lynn Noren's legacy will be one of progress, not just recognition 😊💫.
 
I don't usually comment but I'm really happy for Lynn Noren 🙌! It's awesome that she's being recognized for her amazing work with the disability community. As someone who's not super involved in that world, I've always been fascinated by people like her who are making a real difference. What I love about this award is that it highlights the importance of inclusivity and accessibility – it's an issue that's near and dear to my heart 😊. I think it's so cool that Lynn Noren's legacy will continue to inspire others, especially younger generations. Her story is a reminder that one person can really make a difference when they're passionate about something 💖.
 
I gotta say, I'm not surprised they're giving out this award. Like, it's about time someone gets recognized for doin' somethin' good 🤔. But thinkin' about it, the fact that she's gettin' this award as a retired CEO is kinda weird. It's like, what took 'em so long to recognize her contributions? And is it just because she's retired now and can't be held accountable for any potential controversies? I don't know if I buy all the hype around this award 🤑. Don't get me wrong, Lynn Noren sounds like a great person and all, but let's not gloss over the fact that there are plenty of other people doin' similar work behind the scenes 💼.
 
idk why they gotta make it so formal lol 😂 anyway, i'm glad lynn noren is gettin recognition for her work with disabilities. like, she's been doin this for ages and its about time we acknowledge her efforts. but i think its a bit misleading to say shes 'driven meaningful change' she was prob part of a team that did that. also, im not sure why we need a special award for someone who just does their job lol 🤷‍♀️ still, its nice to see ppl like lynn noren makin headlines and gettin the recognition they deserve 👏

OMG, I'm so stoked that Lynn Noren is gettin' this amazing award for her work with the disability community 🤩! She's literally a hero to me, like, she's always been super passionate about helpin' people with disabilities, even when it wasn't easy or popular. Her leadership at Rise has made such a huge difference in people's lives - I mean, who else is gonna fight for someone to get a job just 'cause they wanna work? 💪 She's the real MVP! And MOHR is totally doin' her right by givin' her this awesome award 🎉. Can't wait to see what she does next!
