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.
