Partners in Policymaking
 

Partners in Policymaking is an innovative leadership training program that teaches people to be community leaders, and to affect systems and policy change at the local, state and national levels.

The program is designed for individuals who have a disability and for parents raising  children with a disability.

Partners provides the most current information and education about disability policy, the legislative process, and local, state and national issues that affect individuals with disabilities.

Partners participants are people who are ready to work for long-term systems change and for change in public policy. The overall goal of the program is to foster a PARTNERship between people who need and use services for disabilities, and those who determine public policy.

Partners graduates gain the abilities to teach policymakers a new way of thinking about people with disabilities.

Who Should Apply to Partners in Policymaking?

A limited number of participants will be selected through an application process to participate in the program. We are seeking highly motivated and committed men and women who represent different ethnic backgrounds, various disabilities, and various geographic regions of the state.

Preference is given to, but not limited to:

• Adults who have a developmental disability (definition can be found in the application packet)
• Parents or guardians of individuals with disabilities
