Welcome!
We are committed to creating a Maine in which all people are valued and respected because we believe communities are stronger when everyone is included.
To do this, we create and support policy advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Our next Council Meeting is Wednesday, February 12, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM via Zoom.
Council meetings are open to the public. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Guests can watch and listen at Council meetings. They cannot participate in the discussions and votes.
Guests can speak at meetings during the “public comment” period.
This is a chance to share your thoughts and ideas about things you want the Council to know.
If you need an accommodation, please contact the Council at least 5 days before the meeting you want to attend.
Accommodations are things like sign language interpreters, large print documents, and other things that help people communicate and participate.
