Special Guests: Panel of Virginia State Legislators
This year’s annual meeting breaks from the tradition of just one guest speaker. Instead, we’re proud to present a panel of Virginia Legislators elected to serve the constituents of Northern Virginia.
The legislators on the panel will share information about their past work advocating for developmental disability support and services, a preview of their plans for the 2019 session, and take questions from the audience submitted in advance.
Confirmed guest panelists for the meeting include Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn, Delegate Patrick Hope, Delegate Marcus Simon, and State Senator Barbara Favola.
