2007 Disability Policy Seminar
Location: Washington, DC
The Hyatt Regency Hotel
400 New Jersey Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20001
The Arc of the United States, United Cerebral Palsy, AAIDD, the Association of University Centers on Disability and the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities are joining together again to host the 2007 Disability Policy Seminar. It is critical that the disability community and other interested participants from around the country participate in this three-day seminar. Preserving and strengthening the federal policies and programs important to people with disabilities is our top priority.
The Disability Policy Collaboration, with these national leading organizations in the field of developmental disabilities, including mental retardation and cerebral palsy, brings together state and local executives and affiliates, self-advocates, families, providers and others for two-days of in-depth policy discussions/meetings focused solely on issues affecting people with disabilities and their families. On the third and final day, participants visit Capitol Hill to deliver a unified message that Congress and the Administration cannot continue dismantling the benefits and services important to the disability community.
In addition, please mark your calendars for the 2008 Disability Policy Seminar (March 2 - 4), which also will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Jointly sponsored by The Arc, AAIDD, AUCD, UCP, and NACDD.
