NRA-- After two years of managing an ad-hoc task force on behalf of the Consortium of Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) to promote public policy strategies focused on asset building and savings, the National Disability Institute is pleased to announce that CCD has agreed to establish a permanent working group within its existing organizational structure to focus on public policy reform that promotes the economic advancement of citizens with disabilities.
The CCD Working Group on Financial Security will be co-chaired by Dr. Johnette Hartnett, Director of Research & Strategic Partnerships for NDI and Director of the Real Economic Impact Tour ( http://www.reitour.org/ ). The working group will meet quarterly in 2011 and will tackle issues related to financial literacy, planning and education; tax incentives for workers with disabilities; and asset building strategies to foster greater economic advancement among citizens with disabilities.
Organizations who are current members of the CCD and are interested in participating in this new working group should contact Johnette Hartnett at jhartnett@ndi-inc.org
