Subject: Accessible Assets Webinar, Part 2 - 2/17/11

Dear Consortium Members,

As you may recall, in December 2009, representatives from the Sargent
Shriver National Center on Poverty Law gave a presentation on how asset
building tools can be effectively used to increase the financial stability
and independence of people with disabilities.  The Shriver Center presented
a webinar on that same topic.

Today, I received notice from the Shriver Center that a second free webinar
providing additional information on this topic will be presented on Thursday
Feb. 17th from 1:30-3:00 PM CST.  This webinar will highlight asset building
strategies for individuals with disabilities to achieve self-sufficiency and
introduce new and innovative asset building programs. Slated to speak are:

William Gorman, Executive Director, The Statewide Independent Living Council
of Illinois (SILC); Patti Lind, Executive Director, The Abilities Fund;
Joyce Armstrong, Project Director, Connect to Work Center, State of
Connecticut Bureau of Rehabilitation Services; and Joyanne Cobb,
Analyst/Project Officer, Office of Project Development and Research, the
Social Security Administration.

These experts will assess opportunities and self-sufficiency strategies, and
discuss expanding entrepreneurial opportunities and access to capital for
people with disabilities through the proposed Connect-Ability program and
the Social Security Administration*s Youth Transition Demonstration
Projects.
