Hear From Former Attendees

"I found The Arc's Policy Conference to be incredibly informative, not just in showcasing the existing policies that nonprofit leaders need to be aware of, but also in looking to the future in promoting diverse, inclusive and accessible communities. I've stayed connected with many people I met at the conference and have built great relationships in furthering the work we share in."     - Abby Yim, Executive Director, Integrated Community Services - San Rafael

"The conference gives me a chance to bond with others who share a similar goal, share information, and develop skills to become an effective advocate for my daughter’s rights and the rights of all people with DD/ID." - Sandy Waterbury - Ventura - Parent
