Why connections matter
People with disabilities often face unique challenges and experiences. Connecting Members and families to the right people, organizations, and resources eases the journey and creates an important sense of belonging. Having a support network of understanding individuals can be crucial for their emotional well-being.
Member Relations Liaisons
Connections provide opportunities for knowledge and information sharing. People with disabilities can learn from others who have similar experiences, exchange advice and strategies, and stay updated on resources and services. Member Relations Liaisons do just that—they are there when you need another person to listen to or guide you to answers. Find your Member Relation Liaison here.
