THE OREGON DISABILITY NETWORK

Sign-up at http://www.oregonnetwork.org/

A project of the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities and the Oregon Developmental Disabilities Coalition is simply the best way to stay apprised of policy issues affecting families experiencing disability.

The Oregon Network is a collaborative statewide network of disability organizations and their members, including people with disabilities, their families, friends, providers, and policymakers.

Members of the Oregon Network share information with one another, receive Oregon Perspectives and other publications, can learn about training events and empowerment opportunities, and have the chance to voice opinions on policy issues at the local, state and national levels.
