Community Conversations are a chance to connect with your State Council on Developmental Disabilities and others in your community.
During these conversations, you’ll hear from Director Carruthers updates on the Council’s work and policy developments, have a chance to connect with others who are passionate about advancing inclusion and equity, and have the opportunity to share your perspectives on the issues that matter most.
Your ideas and experiences help the State Council better understand the needs of Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Together, we can identify priorities, strengthen advocacy, and create meaningful change.
Your experience. Your values. Your State Council. Driving change together.
