Good afternoon everyone-
I just wanted to welcome those new members of the policy advocacy workgroup who joined us at this
year's SLN conference in Columbus OH. A more formal and comprehensive update is in the works, but I
wanted to remind everyone of this list-
policyadvocacy@sibleadership.com
as a way a way to keep the discussion about policy and advocacy concerns for brothers and sisters of
people with disabilities going. This list is made up of siblings and allies who participated in the
Policy Advocacy workgroup meetings at the 2007 and 2008 SLN Conferences. What we use this list for
can be pretty flexible, but the policy advocacy committee envisions that we will use this as a way
to discuss policy concerns and to brainstorm and coordinate potential advocacy actions.
We will be putting together an update soon, but we wanted to do a quick check-in before
Thanksgiving.
All the best,
—
