The 15th annual Indiana Conference for People with Disabilities, themed “Invest in People and Share in the Profits,” will take place Monday, Nov. 16, and Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis. People with disabilities, their family members, caregivers and other advocates in the disability community are invited to participate in this two-day event where they’ll learn how to “invest” in themselves and their communities by improving their own individual skills. This year will be the first annual “Can Do Can Drive”. Those who bring a nonperishable food item will be in a special drawing.
This years conference will include keynote presentations from expert speakers, including Andy Imparato, president and CEO of the American Association of People with Disabilities, a health care presentation, a panel discussion with Indiana disability lobbyists about public policy, a networking and socializing reception and a ceremony to recognize winners of the Council’s Community Spirit Awards. The Conference will close with a fun, interactive presentation from toy inventors Charlie and Maria Girsch who will encourage the audience to think creatively and look at familiar problems in new ways.
Scholarships are provided for people receiving Social Security or TANF services, and half-price registration fees are available for people with disabilities and their family members.
