Bring your voice to Capitol Hill!

Book your room today for this year’s Disability Policy Seminar on April 12-14, 2010, at the Hyatt Regency Washington, D.C.

We need you to educate policy makers and their staff about the national disability issues that affect you and those in your community. Join members and staff of UCP and five partner organizations at this year’s Disability Policy Seminar in Washington, D.C. Culminating with in-person visits to congressional leaders on Capitol Hill, this event will provide valuable information on a broad range of issues:

• Health Care Reform;
• Medicaid, including the Entitlement Commission and state Medicaid issues;
• Employment, including Direct-support Workers;
• Education, including Early Intervention; and
• Discretionary Appropriations.

The Seminar program will provide you with overviews from Washington’s top policy experts about key policies important to the disabilities community and will arm you with the tools you need to champion the issues you care about most. On the final day, you will make your case before your Members of Congress and their staff.
