Just a reminder this week that this is happening folks, a meeting of the NACDD Self Advocacy Committee will be taking place October 17th, 3pm-5pm Eastern time.

 

Self Advocacy Committee: The SAC is open to Executive Directors, Council staff and other advocates with an interest in self-advocacy/advocacy as it relates to State/Territory Developmental Disabilities Councils. The SAC supports Councils in their work around self-advocacy by identifying best practices (what is working/not working in the SA movement from DD Council perspective), sharing information and making recommendations for supporting self-advocacy across all State/Territory Developmental Disabilities Councils.

 

Chair: Emmanuel Jenkins, Community Relations Officer, Delaware Developmental Disabilities Council
