+01: Help Us Plan Our Priorities for the Upcoming Year
Equip for Equality is hosting three Public Meetings to solicit your input for planning our priorities for the forthcoming year. Each meeting (in Chicago, Springfield, and Carbondale, IL) presents a unique opportunity for people with disabilities, family members, service providers and other interested parties to participate in this planning process. Refreshments will be served. In years past, it has been very exciting to hear your comments and suggestions that have helped to effect systemic change in Illinois. View the Planning Meetings page or submit your comments online.
