WV DD Council Seeking Applications for Partners in Policymaking

 

The WV Developmental Disabilities Council is currently accepting
applications for the 2009 Partners in Policymaking(r) (PIP) Class.  PIP
is a national leadership training program for people with developmental
disabilities and parents of young children with developmental
disabilities.  It provides the most current information about disability
issues and develops the skills necessary for effective advocacy to
influence public policy at all levels of government.  

 

National and State leaders in the developmental disability field will
provide information on current issues and state-of-the-art practices
important to individuals with developmental disabilities.  The Council
covers expenses for participants' training, lodging, meals and travel
for eight training sessions between the months of September 2009 and May
2010.  All training sessions will be held in the Charleston area. 

 

For more information or to obtain an application, please go to our

thousands of PIP graduates from similar programs across the country in
advocating for better policy, services, and supports for people with
developmental disabilities!
