It’s still summer, but we are already planning for January and the next Iowa Legislative Session! We need to hear your ideas.

Our Public Policy Committee is starting to work on our public policy priorities for 2027.  The “priorities” are suggestions that we will give to Iowa lawmakers and members of Congress about policy change that could make life in Iowa better for people with disabilities.

 	
The first thing we are doing is LISTENING to you.

Please join us for one or all of these listening sessions so we can hear your thoughts, ideas, stories and suggestions about changes that we can work on together. Each listening session has a topic to focus on, but you can join any or all sessions with any idea.

If you can’t join a listening session, you can still share your ideas in writing. We’ll send more information about how to do that soon.

It’s your turn—we want to hear from you!

Each listening session has a topic to focus on, but you can join any or all sessions with any idea.
