2023 State Convention – The Arc Maryland
May 23, 2023
Members of The Arc of Northern Virginia’s Trust Team will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about Special Needs Trusts. They will give a presentation on Special Needs Trusts at 2:00pm.
This year’s Convention theme is BElong. What is the value of inclusion if it is not meaningful? It is not enough for a person to be in an environment that is physically inclusive but emotionally exclusive. True belonging is the ultimate outcome of meaningful inclusion. When people belong, they can “BE” themselves without fear of judgment. They are welcomed by others. They are valued. They are meaningfully a part of something and when they are absent, they are missed!
The Arc Maryland is pleased to announce our Keynote Speaker for the event is Russell Lehmann, an internationally recognized motivational speaker, poet, author and advocate who happens to have autism. We hope you will join us at our annual event!
