Dear Friends:
On behalf of the 15 Presidentially-appointed Council Members, I would
like to invite you and your staff to attend the Atlanta Quarterly
Meeting of the National Council on Disability (NCD). The Council Meeting
will take place at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia
on Monday, April 16 and Tuesday, April 17, 2007, from 10:00 a.m. until
12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday and 9:00 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. These events are
free of charge and open to the public.
NCD is an independent federal agency making recommendations to the
President and Congress to enhance the quality of life for all Americans
with disabilities and their families. We believe it is vital that NCD
hears from disability communities around the country on what works and
what does not for people with disabilities. We are delighted to have the
opportunity to visit Atlanta and learn first hand about the experiences
of people with disabilities from Georgia. Please save the date and do
not miss this opportunity to meet NCD board members and staff and offer
your comments during the public comment sessions.
We are also having a special reception at the hotel for the disability
community on Monday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This reception
will provide anothe r great opportunity for us to meet you and hear your
thoughts on the future. For more information, please contact NCD's
Director of Communications Mark S. Quigley at mquigley@ncd.gov or by
telephone at 202-272-2004 (V), (202) 272-2074 (TTY).
Sincerely,
John R. Vaughn
Chairperson
