A letter from King County's Developmental Disabilities and Early Childhood Supports Division:
The King County Developmental Disabilities and Early Childhood Supports Division would like to invite you to its 31st Annual Legislative Forum on Monday, November 23, 2020, 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. State legislators representing King County as well as our congressional members have been invited, as have hundreds of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) or delays, their families, providers, and community partners.
Your presence is so important!
The evening centers on sharing experiences so legislators understand the supports needed in King County to help all people live full, integrated and productive lives. Attendees will learn about King County’s 2021 priorities and the impact of state investments on people’s lives.
This is an excellent opportunity for community members to hear from their elected leaders, and for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities or delays and their families to share their stories.
