OPWDD Wants To Hear From You! Join Us at One of Our 2024 Strategic Planning Forums

OPWDD Wants To Hear From You! Join Us at One of Our 2024 Strategic Planning Forums

OPWDD WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU!

OPWDD is excited to announce the statewide schedule for our 2024 Strategic Planning Forums.

The forums will focus on providing you with a brief update on our work on the 2023 – 2027 OPWDD Strategic Plan and on hearing your feedback. This year we have added a question-and-answer period where the OPWDD team will answer questions pre-submitted by participants and, as in past years, we'll end with a public comment period where you can share your thoughts with OPWDD leadership and staff. 

To join us at a forum visit our website where you can register, submit questions, and sign up for public comment. We want to hear from people with developmental disabilities, families, caregivers, providers, Direct Support Professionals, Care Coordination Organizations, and anyone else who interacts with the OPWDD service delivery system.  It is necessary to pre-submit your question if you would like to have it answered at the forum. Although signing up for public comment in advance is not required, it is encouraged as we will start each public comment forum with those who have signed up and only go to the audience if there is time.

If you’re not able to join us in person, don’t worry. We will be hosting virtual forums later this Summer, and we’ll share details about how you can join those shortly. 

We hope you can join us at one of our in-person forums:
