Supporting community disability services is always crucial, and this year it's especially important. With new federal regulations set to go into effect soon and a key election in November, it's time to educate your elected officials about the essential role of community providers. Now's the perfect opportunity, as members of the U.S. House are on recess as of today, and the Senate will follow next week. Throughout August, federal legislators will be in their home districts, making them more accessible to you as you seek to educate them. Use this time to connect with your elected officials and candidates, highlighting the critical issues facing providers of community-based disability services. Help shape the future of #DisabilityServices by utilizing ANCOR's all-new #AdvocacyToolkit, which offers guidance on engaging with officials, writing op-eds, letters to the editor, and more.
