What is the Council Consortium?

A collaborative online DD Council community designed to help with information exchange and communication on state plan projects and initiatives.

You are invited to participate in the 1st FY20 Council Consortium on-line discussions.

This first call will take place on December 10, 2019 at 3pm ET and the topics will be on Employment and ABLE.  We will have the opportunity to hear from Brian Cox, former ED of the Maryland DD Council and author of the latest ITACC topical report on these two topics.  A copy of the report is attached to this email if you have not seen it yet.

The purpose of the Council Consortium is to exchange ideas, promising or best practices; lesson learned from your work on this topic; insights on collaborators or partners; challenges that you incurred; etc.  During the call, we will call on councils to talk specifically about their work, and then open the call up for discussion.

The call in number will be 800-832-0736; and 8587424#

We will also have calls in February on health equity/health disparity; May on transportation; and August on transition in education.  If you are interested in participating in any of these calls, please let Robin know.
