What's Up, DAC?
By Mark Leeper, DAC Director
Contact this Author

This year, 2005, marks the 15th anniversary of the signing of the ADA and it will be the first year of extended coverage of the Idaho Human Rights Act to business access for people with disabilities. DAC is pleased to be teaming up with CORD in Spokane for a 15th anniversary ADA celebration in Mirabeau Park, Spokane Valley. Amy of DAC’s Coeur d’Alene office has been busy planning with representatives from CORD. More information appears on both the ADA celebration and the Idaho Human Rights Act in this newsletter.

DAC is more than half way through its planning year, and we are busy thinking about next year’s activities. In a recent meeting, staff spoke of the need to find out what people with disabilities in northern Idaho and the Pullman and Clarkston, WA areas are seeing as the most critical community advocacy issues on which DAC should focus. We will be asking you questions to help us plan future advocacy actions in all of our service areas. Please contact us at any time to tell us of your priorities for your consumer-run center!

In thinking about future plans, we are looking at our past activities and overall operating philosophy. The DAC Board and staff have long felt that we have an obligation to offer the best services possible to as a wide an un-served area as possible. With this approach, we have had to increasingly wrestle with how hard it is to run such a wide-reaching and not very wealthy project! Nevertheless, we are committed to continuing to offer services and activities throughout the 10 northern Idaho counties and Whitman and Asotin counties in Washington. If you find our Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, or Moscow office occasionally closed, it may be because staff are out on the road! <>
