Danya and Erin represented MWCIL at the National Council on Independent Living’s conference – in person(!) in Washington, D.C. on July 24 – 27. This annual conference is always a great opportunity to learn from colleagues across the country (and meet staff from MA IL Centers!), and to learn from disability leaders across the country. This year’s theme was Indivisible (meaning impossible to be divided or separated) and provided an environment that nurtures diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion.
