Help support The Arc and UCP's 14th Annual Developmental Disabilities Public Policy Conference from March 15 to March 18, 2021 with a sponsorship contribution. Our ability to host this important event depends on contributions from people and organizations just like yours.

Who We Are:

The Arc of California is part of The Arc of the United States, the nation’s oldest and largest organization advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We were formally established in 1950 and were instrumental in passage of the Lanterman Act in 1969, which created a system of services and supports for people with developmental disabilities. We have 21 chapters throughout California that provide a range of services and support for individuals with IDD and their families. We are known as leaders in the quest to preserve California's system of services, to advocate for inclusion of individuals with disabilities in their communities, and to protect their rights.

About the Annual Developmental Disabilities Public Policy Conference:

The 14th Annual “VIRTUAL” Developmental Disabilities Public Policy Conference inspires, educates, and empowers attendees to become advocates for Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The conference is sponsored by The Arc and United Cerebral Palsy California Collaboration and features nationally known speakers who have been trailblazers for promoting policies that improve the disability system — enabling people with IDD to live inclusively in their communities.  Attendees include government officials and leaders within the IDD community, including self-advocates, family members, support professionals, and academicians. This year every registrant will receive a program in advance of the Conference mailed to their home with a raffle number to enter our daily drawing for prizes. Each sponsor will be offered the best opportunities to gain maximum brand exposure and include an item(s) in the Welcome Box.

How Your Sponsorship Helps People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities:

Sustainability of a reliable, robust, and responsive system of service and supports is critical to the well-being of individuals with IDD and their families. This is accomplished through a continual and dynamic exchange of ideas and sharing of best practices and research through presentations by national experts, which is a goal of the Public Policy Conference. The diversity of the audience enriches the discussion and enables the voice of people with IDD to be heard by decision-makers, therefore influencing policy. Your contribution also provides scholarships to those who could not otherwise participate in this memorable experience.
