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.
