Individual with disabilities are as unique and diverse as people without disabilities. For this reason, issues concerning Arkansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities are multi-faceted and complex. As a member of a Community of Champions, you will become increasingly knowledgeable on these issues in hopes that you may provide long-term support in the future. As business owners who potential employment, educators focused on inclusion, and as voters who will impact local, state and national matters, your awareness and involvement will help create a favorable community on behalf of those whose voice is often unheard.

Our goal is to inform the Community of Champions about matters important to the IDD community, such as voting for supporters of programs funding services, increasing employment opportunities, as well as inclusion in day-to-day activities in our local communities.
