Join us for an empowering and educational Town Hall Forum this fall, where you'll advance the lives of people with disabilities and gain valuable advocacy tools.
In cooperation with ARRM and a variety of statewide disability groups, the Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (MN-CCD) is sponsoring 13 town hall forums througout the state from September to December. Please help ARRM spread the word about these meetings; we'd like ARRM members to be well-represented and have our voices heard.
As a participant, you will learn how the 2009 legislative session impacts Minnesotans with disabilities; how to help shape future policies that promote innovative, economical, person-centered programs; and you may speak directly to legislators and other elected officials about your challenges and successes.
