Innovation Series 2023
The 2023 Innovation Series builds on the connections the Community Life Engagement (CLE) Team has helped to spotlight and celebrate over the last 6+ years to improve person-centered planning, community membership, and employment opportunities for individuals across Ohio. The increasing complexities of our society and challenges faced within the developmental disability system require us to work collaboratively to discover a shared path forward. The series is designed to grow and foster networks that empower a diverse group of people to connect, collaborate, and innovate to create a future system of supports that works for all.
