Hi all,
     I'm forwarding an announcement from the  Governor's council on 
Disability offering training in the legislative process at  various levels.  All 
the training is free but you have to provide your own  travel and lodging.  
Several of the webinar and legislative classroom  training have already passed 
so if anyone is interested, apply soon.
   I'm planning to attend.
Dan

Subject: 2011 Legislative  Education Project


 

The  Governor’s Council on Disability has made  changes for the 2011 
Legislative  Education Project (LEP):  

To participate  in the LEP individuals or organizations must register 
online  for a webcast that discusses how a bill becomes a law and  how to become 
your own self advocate at the Capitol. Once the webcast is  completed, the 
individual or organization may continue their learning  experience by 
selecting a one-day or two-day training at the Capitol. The  two-day training 
provides a more intensive learning process. The individual or  organizations are 
encouraged to schedule an appointment with their  representatives or 
senators prior to coming to the Capitol. LEP at the Capitol  is facilitated by 
mentors who are knowledgeable on disability policies. The  mentors will escort 
the individuals or organizations at the Capitol.   
The Governor’s  Council on Disability does not charge a fee for the webcast 
or the training  materials and information provided during the LEP.  Each 
participant is  responsible for his or her own food, travel, and lodging  
expenses. 
To  obtain an LEP certificate of completion an individual or organization 
must  complete the webcast and attend the LEP at the Capitol. 
Step  1: 
Sign up for the webcast.  Please register as early as possible since space 
is limited.
