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
