Subject: REMINDER: NACDD Announces its 2020 Champions of Equal Opportunity Awardees plus event and panel-- Only One Week Away!!

ONE WEEK AWAY!!! SAVE THE DATE-August 6th at 2pm ET

The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) honors two outstanding self-advocates as national advocacy awardees.  Heidi Lieb-Williams of Alaska is the winner of the Betty Williams Champions of Equal Opportunity Award, and Jessica Barrett of Nebraska is the winner of the April Dunn Start Your Journey Award.

Join NACDD as we honor both awardees and the 2020 Class and induct several Self-Advocates into the Leadership Circle during the NACDD Annual Conference online kickoff Thursday August 6, 2020 at 2pm ET via Zoom (details below).  This event is generously sponsored by Optum.

Immediately following the ceremony, NACDD will be holding an advocacy roundtable discussion where some of our network's leading advocates will discuss their strategies for success, lessons learned when things do not go right, and exciting activities they are working on now.  This session will also reflect on how the ADA 30th Anniversary has changed opportunities for people with disabilities and how having DD Councils for 50 years has given opportunities for people with disabilities to really make a difference in their state of territory.

NACDD is excited to announce that Aaron Kaufman, former NACDD Board member and former Maryland DD Council chair, will moderate this session that will include Max Barrows, 2019 Champion of Equal Opportunity awardee and staff at Green Mountain Self-Advocates; Kate Brady, Deputy Director of the Georgia DD Council; Emmanuel Jenkins, Administrative Specialist of the Delaware DD Council; and Renee Manfredi, 2018 Self-Advocates Leadership Circle inductee, and Hawaii DD Council Member.

This event is open to the entire DD Network.  Please share the information widely.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.  We look forward to seeing you August 6th
