RI STATEWIDE INDEPENDENT LIVING COUNCIL
DRAFT STATE PLAN FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING FY 2011-2013
LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends:
The Council was established in 1993 to promote leadership and advocacy in support of the Independent Living Philosophy. For ten years, I have watched with admiration as a diverse group of people unite together to improve the lives of people with disabilities.
The Council’s vision, guided by the Independent Living Philosophy, is one of self-determination, equal opportunity and full community integration and participation for all Rhode Islanders. Advancing this vision is a most rewarding and worthwhile cause.
If you too are inspired by this vision, then I invite you to partner with us and help make this vision a reality.
"Together, Making A Difference"
Sincerely,
Camille L. Pansa
