>> • To provide informed input on the development and assessment of future Cedar projects and services that impact people with disabilities;
>> 
>> • Serve as an access resource and review mechanism, which may include consultation on new programs, policies and services;
>> 
>> • Assist in developing outreach to people in the community who are older or have disabilities, i.e. ways to participate; provide assistance in finding what programs are available in their city and state; and advertise what our arts organization has to offer them.
