Event Details

EMPLOYMENT POLICY SUMMIT 2010

Supporting Nevadans with developmental disabilities by facilitating employment and independence through informed choice”


Community leaders will gather at three sites (Reno, Las Vegas, and Elko) for the 2010 Employment Summits to help change employment outcomes for Nevadans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). The goal is to improve employment opportunities and successes in employment for people with ID/DD within the State of Nevada and to develop policy changes that govern individuals with ID/DD. In these trying economic times we need to develop strategies for change that will encourage Nevadans with disabilities to reduce their reliance on State and Federal subsidies and increase their self-sufficiency. While supports are necessary to encourage Nevadans with ID/DD to pursue their career interests and contribute to the community, we respect consumer-driven choice and will utilize strategies to promote this. You, as a community leader, are invited to help develop and implement the working plan for policy change and recommendations to the 2011 Nevada Legislature.

There will also be a Pre-Summit Webinar on May 4th, 2010 from 10:30am-12:00pm that would be a great informational start for the Summit. Please sign up for the Pre-Summit Webinar here!
