Project is funded by the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council
DD Council public forums.
UCP
Michigan is hosting public forums for the Michigan Developmental
Disabilities Council. The forums are to find out what people with
developmental disabilities and family members believe is most important.
The Council spends roughly $1.8 million every year on grants for capacity
building, systems change, and advocacy programming. The forums will help the
Council decide how to spend the $9 million in its next 5-year plan.
We will
use a World Café style of forum. Instead of 1 person at a time speaking from
a podium, people sit Café style at round tables.
The forums will be held in 6 locations around the state. They are:
Flint – February 24, 2009
Southeast Michigan – March 19, 2009
Plainwell – April 28, 2009
Midland – May 5, 2009
Gaylord – May 20, 2009
Marquette – June 11, 2009
