Subject: [CO-CURE] ACT: National Council on Disability Public Meeting July
20 --22

Here's an opportunity to comment on the disabling nature of our illness and
hopefully get the news out to policymakers who can make a difference.  Note
the information in the third paragraph, which specifically provides for
written as well as phoned-in comments.  For those in the Minneapolis area,
there is also a reception on July 21 perfect for informal networking.

National Council on Disability to Hold Minneapolis Meeting to Hear Issues
Affecting People with Disabilities WASHINGTON—The National Council on
Disability (NCD) will conduct its next quarterly meeting at the Minneapolis
Marriott City Center, 30 South 7th Street, Minneapolis, MN, beginning at
8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 20, 2009, and ending at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday,
July 22, 2009. All times are Central Daylight Time. This meeting is open to
the public. 
 
NCD believes it is vital to hear from communities around the country on what
works and what does not for people with disabilities. This meeting will
provide another opportunity for that exchange. The agenda will include,
among other things, sessions on emergency preparedness, housing, workforce
infrastructure, access to outdoor recreation, international development, the
Developmental Disabilities and Bill of Rights Act, strategic planning, and
NCD’s 2010 National Summit on Disability Policy.
 
Specific times are also designated to receive public comment, supported by a
toll-free call-in line, and input is encouraged and greatly appreciated.
Individuals or organizations can also provide written comments by e-mail,
fax, or mail. Public comment sessions will be held Monday, July 20, 11:30
a.m. until noon and on Tuesday, July 21, 4:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The
toll-free call-in number is (888) 790-6568, and the pass code is “NCD
Meeting.” 
 
NCD will host a reception at the hotel from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
immediately following the public comment session. Meeting participants,
audience members, and disability community stakeholders are invited to
attend.
 
The purpose of NCD, an independent federal agency, is to promote programs,
practices, policies and procedures that ensure full inclusion of people with
disabilities into all aspects of society. NCD accomplishes this mission by
providing advice and making recommendations to the President, Congress,
governmental agencies, and other stakeholders.
 
For more information, please contact NCD’s Director of External Affairs,
Mark S. Quigley, at [log in to unmask] or by telephone at 202-272-2008.
