The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) is hosting a number of listening sessions across the country over the next few months to help inform future funding priorities and strategic direction.  Stakeholders are invited to share their input in-person, via teleconference, or email.  NIDILLR asks that attendees be prepared to answer the following questions: 

• What issues (barriers) make it challenging for you to be an active member of your community?
• What improvements (name the top one or two) would make your daily life better?
• What has changed, for better or worse, in the last five years that has affected your ability to achieve your goals?

The three-hour meetings will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. local time on the following dates:

• October 28 in San Franscisco, CA
• November 1 in Chicago IL
• November 18 in Boston MA
• December 5 in Dallas TX

More information about these events is available on NIDILRR's "Stakeholder Listening Session" webpage.
