Partners in Policymaking

Partners in Policymaking

Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities

Advocacy

"We had legislators who came in and talked to people about how to communicate with a legislator, how to write to legislators." The Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities (GCPD) had its first Partners in Policymaking graduation class in 1991. Partners in Policymaking was a leadership training program for adults with disabilities and parents. In this video, retired GCPD Executive Director Suellen Jackson-Boner, Paul Shankland, Betty Williams, and Judy Patterson talk about the role of the program and its impact on graduates. The program was created in Minnesota and adapted nationally.
