A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Clay Boatright has lived in Texas since 1994, where he and his late wife Carole raised three daughters, including identical twins with severe intellectual disabilities and autism. With undergrad and graduate degrees from the University of Memphis, Clay managed two full-time careers for almost twenty years, one in the consumer-packaged goods industry to pay the bills and another as a volunteer advocate for people with disabilities. Clay is Past-President both The Arc of Dallas and The Arc of Texas. In 2011, he was appointed to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities in Washington, DC, and in 2013, he was appointed Founding Chairman for Texas Health & Human Services’ IDD System Redesign Advisory Committee. Following Carole’s death in 2020, Clay maintains a close relationship with his daughters and works to help everyone know that God has a plan for their lives.
