Meet Our Staff
Myra Galt, Director
Myra started the company that would become Galt Advocacy more than 14 years ago. Her agency was the first advocacy group in California dedicated to educating and representing the special needs community with IHSS and protective supervision. Over the years she has become a leading voice in the fight for fair and appropriate treatment of special needs families. She defends families in hearing and she works at the state level to push for new laws to help those with special needs.
Forrest Galt, CFO
Forrest is a very important part of the team: he makes sure we get paid. He also handles billing inquiries and all other financial concerns. Forrest is also the husband of our director Myra Galt. Galt Advocacy is truly a family run business!
