National Leadership Consortium on Developmental Disabilities

If we are going to make quality lives for adults with developmental disabilities available on a large scale, we need to assure a rich supply of skilled leaders who are passionate about quality, have the management and financial skills needed to run solid not-for-profit businesses and government agencies, are capable of assembling top-notch teams of caring staff, and have a solid commitment to progressive values. Today's leaders in the intellectual/developmental disabilities field entered the field with a passion for social justice. The National Leadership Consortium on Developmental Disabilities supports the development of next generation of leaders. We work in partnership with the major national developmental disability organizations to offer a variety of short-term, intensive leadership development experiences, a resource-rich website, an on-line community of practice, technical assistance and research on best practices and innovations in disability leadership.
