Every three years, Disability Rights NC invites residents of our State to help define its Target areas. In Fall 2010, we will host Listening Sessions in many communities across the State. This is your opportunity to be heard and help direct our focus for the next three years. Please plan to attend one of these sessions if . . .

• You are curious about how Disability Rights NC selects the cases it accepts;
• You want to have input into the types of cases Disability Rights NC accepts;
• You want to share critical information with Disability Rights NC about the violation of the rights of people with disabilities in our State.
