The Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education would like to invite you to our community gathering and public testimony!  On Thursday, January 29th, from 5:00—6:00pm, join the Council at the Centennial Hall in Juneau to:

  • Meet your community—your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and advocates who are interested in disability rights.
  • Enjoy refreshments and develop networks.
  • Share your experiences and ideas.
  • Discuss local and state issues and advocacy opportunities.

After the community gathering, stay for public testimony from 6:00—7:00pm to give us your opinion on:

  • Housing
  • Workforce Development
  • Employment
  • Early Intervention
  • Education
  • Transportation
  • Family Supports
  • Community Inclusion

Tell us what is working, not working, and potential solutions to all aspects of life!

We encourage you to call your senator and representative and tell them how much you look forward to seeing them at the community gathering.  If you do not know who your legislators are, go to this website: http://www.capwiz.com/mhtrust/home/ and enter your address. 

For more information, please call me, Katie Bringold, at (907) 269-8462.  I look forward to seeing you all there!
