Please Give Us Input On Our Three Year Plan

Every three years, Protection and Advocacy takes an in-depth look at our Goals, Priorities and Objectives which determine what cases we will open and what policy issues we will pursue. Once our three-year priorities are established, we make yearly adjustments during the next two years. We are beginning a new 3-year planning process, and we need input from the individuals with disabilities we work for and their families, providers and other interested parties to accomplish this task.

We plan to hold small focus groups in each area of the state in order to hear what disability issues people think are the most important. If you would like to host a focus group or to attend one in your area, you can contact Johanne Guyton at 1-800-432-4682 or by e-mail at nmpaguyton@hotmail.com. We plan to complete these focus groups by early summer 2003, so let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in participating.
