AUCD 2009 Conference in Washington DC

The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is holding their 2009 Conference on November 8-11, 2009 in Washington DC. This year's conference is titled: "Coming Together to Address the Challenges and Opportunities for Change in Disabilities Research, Education, Service, and Policy."

The conference will be centered around the network members and the disability community gathering together to address the opportunities and challenges presented by current changes in the economic, political, social, and environmental climate. With a growing membership of UCEDDs, LENDs, and IDDRCs along with international affiliates, AUCD has become a key disability organization. This annual meeting offers an opportunity to interact with policymakers, researchers, administratiors, families, students, and advocates across these types of organizations and across disciplines.

AUCD invites professionals in the field to submit an application to present their research, activities, and projects at the conference. Proposals are due by June 19.
