ADRCs are a hot topic in IL Movement these days for good reason. Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) can be an opportunity to expand funding and services or a threat to independent living, depending on who you ask!  So, please join us on November 30 to hear from three CIL Directors that have substantial experience with the ADRCs in their communities.  This presentation will deal with the benefits and challenges of CIL participation in ADRC programs.  If your CIL is considering partnership, you can’t miss this training!

Target Audience: Executive directors, program managers, board members, and line staff of centers for independent living concerned with CIL-ADRC collaboration
