We were made aware that we needed to correct the time for today’s Knowledge is Power session. It will begin at 2:30 pm Central, not 1 pm. Please see below for the corrected info. The registration link is THE SAME. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Knowledge is Power, July 16: Today, Wednesday July 16, join Access Living and the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities for a Knowledge is Power virtual meeting focused on federal updates as well as how to take care of ourselves at this time. This session will be in a regular meeting format so we can have a more accessible dialogue format. Bring your questions about federal advocacy and self-care! While these sessions tend to focus on Illinois, people from out of state are welcome.
Knowledge is Power will take place from 2:30 to 4 pm Central time. We will have ASL and Spanish translation available.
Register in advance for KIP today here.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about how to join the virtual meeting.
