MAKE YOUR MARK THIS ELECTION YEAR
Attend this year’s biggest and best opportunity to advance the grassroots agenda of those involved in the movement for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities each year. This in-depth forum is a platform for the exchange of the latest and most detailed information about the issues at hand, preparing you for face-to-face meetings with elected officials on Capitol Hill.
During this Presidential election year, it is especially important to make your mark on disability public policy at the Disability Policy Seminar. Millions of Americans deal with the impact of public policy related to I/DD every day. Priority topics this year include: Medicaid and community living, federal funding, Social Security, employment, education, health care and asset development. The Seminar offers you the opportunity to come together, become educated on the issues, and take the initiative to speak with your elected officials about what is important to you.
