Nevada showed up in DC 🇺🇸

The Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities is proud to be here alongside the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED) and Opportunity Village as we advocate at the national level for people with developmental disabilities.

This work matters. These conversations matter. And making sure Nevada’s voices are heard, loud and clear, matters most.

Grateful to stand with so many dedicated advocates pushing for better systems, stronger supports, and real change.
