The Lutheran Services in America Disability Network (DN) Winter Meeting will take place January 30–31, 2025, at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club near Jacksonville, Florida. This meeting will take place immediately after CEO Summit 2025.
The DN meets together three times a year to harnesses the collective power and wisdom of its nationwide network of Lutheran social ministry organizations to amplify our voice through advocacy and champion services and supports that enable individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realize their dreams, achieve their potential and lead their best lives.
Meeting highlights will include the development of key partnerships in a discussion led by Stacy Nonnemacher from the National Association of State Directors of Development Disability Services (NASDDS) and the further development of a common data model in a conversation with George Hobor from the Robert Wood Foundation.
If you are interested in learning more about the DN Winter meeting or joining us to further your work in the field of disabilities, please contact Bill Kallestad, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy, Disability Network.
