The Alliance for Full Participation's 2011 Summit was a huge success. Over 1250 people participated in the Real Jobs--It's Everyone's Business Summit in Washington, DC, which marked the mid-point in a campaign to double integrated employment for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities by the year 2015. The Summit featured dynamic speakers including U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius; a ground breaking Town Hall moderated by Frank Sesno and including the voices of self advocates, employers, direct support professionals, providers, and state and federal leaders; active participation and idea sharing by state teams; dynamic, in-depth breakout sessions; roundtables; technology forums; value-packed exhibit hall; and most importantly, an inspiring group of incredibly committed, dedicated and action-oriented group of attendees. Don't just take our word for it, however, watch the highlight video to see a summary of the event. Download handouts and powerpoints from sessions.
