The 2012 Annual Conference on Independent Living celebrates
NCIL’s 30th Anniversary! Over the past three decades, we have grown from a handful of advocates and the Centers they
represent into a force of thousands of people with disabilities
from CILs and SILCs in every state and territory of the U.S. Our achievements over the past 30 years have been made together
and our futures depend on the fellowship we have forged.
Let us, from all corners of this nation, converge this June in Washington, D.C. to celebrate our history and accomplishments,
while we steel ourselves to tackle these tough economic times
head on!
The hard-won battles of our past teach and motivate us to say
“No!” to cuts that would endanger programs essential to the independence of people with disabilities!
Our longstanding commitment to inclusion and empowerment
inspires our search for new leadership among young people and underrepresented communities. And our experience running
Centers and SILCs,
large and small, allows us to provide excellent trainings on best practices and innovation in Independent Living.
We must continue to educate and empower ourselves if we are
to meet the challenges we face. We have promises to keep, and
miles
to go before we sleep!
