2012 P&A/CAP Annual Conference
With plenty of new challenges ahead and a variety of emerging issues, the P&A/CAP network must be prepared to advance the rights of all people with disabilities. The 2012 P&A/CAP Annual Conference presents a wonderful opportunity for you to hone existing skills and learn new ones.
Through the formal trainings and informal contacts with your fellow participants, you can renew and deepen your commitment to the work of the P&A/CAP System and become an active participant in improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore this June.
Sincerely,
Curt Decker
Executive Director, National Disability Rights Network
