Why is it Important to Attend? Last year
self-advocates, family members and professionals in the field came together
to meet with Secretary Sharfstein to understand why DDA had unspent funds
while people continued to be on the waiting list and those receiving supports
were underfunded. This year Secretary Sharfstein will brief everyone on
actions taken and progress being made by DHMH.
Why a "Briefing" before the Town
Hall? People with disabilities, family members and
professionals in the field are invited to a "briefing" or short
meeting to review last year's underspend funds issue. Using
facilitators and roundtable discussions, everyone will have a chance to get
an understanding of the topic in order to prepare questions and/or statements
for the Town Hall meeting with Secretary Sharfstein. You
must register to attend the briefing and a light dinner will be served.
Everyone is invited to the open Town Hall following the Briefing.
Attendees will be able to ask questions or state concerns to the
Secretary.
When is the Briefing? The Briefing is
scheduled for Tuesday, December 11 and begins at 6:00 p.m. You must
register to attend. The deadline for registering is December 5th.
