People with disabilities deserve to live fulfilling, independent, enriched
lives, but webbed through every discussion of community living is the enormous
and urgent challenge of how to ensure policy, resources, and innovation are
geared towards these ends.
ANCOR will not stand by as disability service providers are hit with the
aftermath of Supreme Court decisions, unfunded federal mandates, and
significant budget cuts that impact their important work. Therefore ANCOR is
launching its 2015 Leadership Summit to empower disability service providers
with ways to impact the many threads of providing community options. The
"There’s No Place Like Home" Leadership Summit will occur from September
2930 in Washington, DC and plans to feature top officials from federal
agencies, the Hill, the disability community and the White House to delve into
what will and must be done to address the urgent need for greater access to
community supports.
