Funding for conferences/workshops

Good afternoon.

I am the Marketing Director for Florida CARE. We were awarded grant

money through Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, Inc. to

assist people with disabilities and their families attend educational

opportunities. There is still funding available!!!

I would like to distribute the below information to deserving people

and their families. Can you help me to get the word out? Please

distribute this to anyone who this might help.

Thank you!

Nikki Glynn

People with developmental disabilities and their families are offered

the opportunity to apply for financial assistance to attend

conferences, workshops and other learning opportunities through a

grant awarded to The Florida Center for Advocacy, Research and

Education (Florida CARE) through the Florida Developmental

Disabilities Council, Inc.

This project will enable individuals with developmental disabilities

and their families to become better self-advocates and enhance their

quality of life through improved knowledge of many aspects of the

disability system. In addition, this knowledge will facilitate their

inclusion and participation in numerous planning and decision-making

committees, forum and leadership in organizations in their

communities.

More than 35 people with disabilities and their families will enjoy

this opportunity. These individuals will come from different

demographic and targeted groups around Florida and will be selected

through an application process. Interested families should go to

www.floridacareinc.org and complete an application for consideration.

There is also a calendar listing upcoming opportunities.

Florida CARE passionately advocates for people with disabilities by

providing corporations, school districts, groups and families with

employment coaching, transitional skills, ADA compliance tips,

diversity planning and outreach, disability awareness and hiring

techniques.
