September 22-23, the Alliance for Full Participation will host a 2005 Summit: Many Voices, One Vision in Washington DC to bring together those committed to making the promises inherent in the Developmental Disabilities Act for Americans a reality. Over twelve hundred individuals are expected to attend to help craft a new strategic policy and social agenda in support of full participation, and to carry that agenda forward in their communities following the Summit. Please join us in making full participation a reality.

AFP/SABE Joint Announcement - 3/11/2005

On Friday, March 11, 2005 the SABE Executive Committee and the founders of the Alliance for Full Participation (AFP) came together to develop a plan to move forward together to assure that the AFP Summit planned for September 2005 fully integrates self advocates throughout the process.

SABE will become a full partner in the Summit working with all of the founding organizations. The SABE Executive Committee encourages all self-advocates to join with them in participating in the all aspects of the event - joining state teams, volunteering to be moderators and speakers and attending the summit in DC.

This new collaboration assures that the Alliance for Full Participation is a productive long term process - before and after the September meeting - that will significantly improve the quality of life for all people with disabilities
