 Click banner for more details. You are cordially invited to a special two day gathering to support Asians and Pacific Islanders with physical and mental disabilities
Please join Asians and Pacific Islanders with Disabilities of California (APIDC) and the City of Long Beach First Lady Nancy Foster (pictured middle) as we hear from service providers, parent support groups, role models, educators, policy makers, advocates, job placement organizations and agencies, and others who share a common vision-of providing consumers the tools to realize their fullest potential, the tools for self determination.
Day 1 of the Conference will be geared towards bridging the mainstream service providers with the Asian Pacific Islander American community based organizations and consumers-to identify ways to better serve the hard to reach population of Asian and Pacific Islanders with physical and mental disabilities.
Day 2 of the Conference will be geared towards closing the information gap for the consumers and their families. Panelists and the audience will identify concrete ways to secure and maximize services, educational opportunities, and networking for Asian and Pacific Islanders with physical and mental disabilities.
This will be the fourth of successful conferences which have been held over the last ten years throughout California. Past attendees have benefitted from the wealth of resources and new relationships formed at these unique convenings.
We hope you will join us for what will be a memorable and empowering event at the beautiful Westin Long Beach.
