Brookings Committee for People who have Disabilities
The Committee strives to advocate for the rights of people in our community who have disabilities. Throughout the year, specific events
are held to bring awareness and information to our citizens. Technical assistance is provided to the business community, private
individuals, governmental entities, and non-profit organizations. The goals of this service are to improve the quality of life for people
who have disabilities through enhancing the knowledge base of entities in the community; and to further serve as a community-based
advocacy group enhancing the ability of local entities to comply with Federal Civil Rights legislation.
