Disability Rights North Carolina (formerly Carolina Legal Assistance) is now the Protection and Advocacy (P&A) organization for North Carolina. It is part of a nationwide network of similar organizations charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of people who have disabilities.
Federal regulations require that Disability Rights North Carolina develop a set of annual "priorities." This year’s priority-setting process will take place over the next few weeks, ending with final approval of priorities by our board of directors at its December 14 meeting. These priorities, which will guide us in our protection and advocacy work, will be reported to our federal granting agencies.
Your input is critical to the development of meaningful priorities, which will guide the activities of Disability Rights North Carolina during the coming year.
