Meeting Schedule
To make the most of our time together, we will use an information-sharing discussion group format. Come prepared to learn from your colleagues and to exchange information. Please be sure to bring copies of materials that describe your state’s accomplishments for the last year.
This continues to be an exciting and challenging time for state independent living programs. Don’t miss this opportunity to network and learn what’s happening around the nation.
