White House monthly disability calls, summit suggestions for topic and speaker

Participate in White House Monthly Disability Calls

[As posted at Disability.gov]

You pick the topic and speaker for White House monthly disability calls
Each month, members of the White House Domestic Policy Council and Office of Public Engagement who work on disability issues host a public, live-captioned conference call to keep you better informed of important disability issues and to connect you to the leaders who work on disability policies in the federal government. Over the past several months, these calls have featured discussions on accessibility, employment, education, technology, emergency preparedness, transportation, healthcare and the budget, just to name a few. The Secretaries of Education and Transportation and other senior Administration officials have participated on calls.

We are now offering you the opportunity to suggest the topics discussed on the monthly disability calls and/or the speakers who participate. We want to hear from you.

Starting in September and over the next few months, where feasible, these monthly calls will attempt to address issues that you identify as well as schedule speakers from whom you want to hear. Please complete the below form to submit your suggestion.

All White House Disability Group calls are off the record and not for press purposes.

Stay tuned to receive emails or check back at Disability.gov for notices about the dates and times of upcoming calls.

We cannot guarantee that your issue will be addressed or that the speakers you recommend will participate.

If you would like to be added to the White House Disability Group email distribution list, please send an email to disability@who.eop.gov with your name, organization, city and state.
