Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Allies,

People with disabilities have been fighting for our fundamental rights to live, work, and play in society—like everyone else—for decades, and the next wave of disability advocates will be just as key to creating a world in which our community truly belongs. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I need your help in spreading the word about an exciting opportunity from Disability Rights Oregon to develop tomorrow’s advocacy champions: Oregon Partners in Policymaking® Leadership Series is returning this <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.droregon.org/pip__;!!C5qS4YX3!F2g2drzdq1KTwXpciQNEHfGHvtsi_LY8RqyRSyLK7JHrIxOWeFGsWovyLxY-LXTSM4R5o9B7il5C7_qAabtEcQ$> Fall, thanks to generous funding from the Fairview Trust!

Created more than 35 years ago, Oregon Partners in Policymaking® Leadership Series is an internationally renowned training program based on the belief that the most effective and enduring public policy decisions come from partnerships between people who need and use services and supports, and elected officials and other decisionmakers. It is about becoming confident in oneself, competent in knowledge and information received, and comfortable with sharing life experiences and expertise.

Who Should Apply?

Oregon Partners in Policymaking® Leadership Series is a leadership training program designed for:
·         Parents, guardians, or family members of school-aged children with a developmental disability, traumatic brain injury, or other lifelong disability that affects their daily life; and,
·         Adults 21-years-old and older with a disability that affects their daily life. This includes intellectual or developmental disability, traumatic brain injury, or other lifelong disabilities that affect daily life.

While attending eight in-person, weekend sessions over eight months, participants will learn leadership skills and how to develop positive partnerships and working relationships with elected officials and other policymakers. Series graduates often become members of boards, councils, task forces and advisory committees, while some run for elected office, and others secure employment in disability advocacy or service organizations.

Thank you for helping Disability Rights Oregon spread the word about this exciting opportunity to develop our movement’s future leaders<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.droregon.org/pip__;!!C5qS4YX3!F2g2drzdq1KTwXpciQNEHfGHvtsi_LY8RqyRSyLK7JHrIxOWeFGsWovyLxY-LXTSM4R5o9B7il5C7_qAabtEcQ$>. When President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act in July 1990, it was the culmination of decades of grassroots advocacy by people with disabilities, families, and allies. What might seem inevitable today was only possible because our community pushed for changes.

Please join me in imagining what the next generation of disability advocacy leaders can accomplish over the next 34 years. Now let’s spread the word and make our dreams reality. I welcome your call or email if you have questions.

Sincerely,
Jake
