Description

The annual Collaborations Conference brings together rehabilitation professionals, educators and advocates for the purpose of enhancing services that lead to successful employment and quality community-based services for Virginians with disabilities.  This year's theme "ReConnect, ReCharge, ReBuild" challenges all of us to stretch our imaginations and think "outside of the box" - to implement evolving public policy changes so that we can unlock each others potential as well as the potential of individuals with disabilities that we serve.  The Collaborations Conference is a joint conference hosted by a partnership between the Virginia Rehabilitation Association (VRA), the Virginia Association of Community Rehabilitation Programs (vaACCSES) and the Virginia Association of Persons Supporting Employment First (VA-APSE).  The only one of its kind in the country. We're celebrating our 24th year! This year's agenda is packed with exciting learning sessions and excellent networking opportunities. We hope these opportunities and tools will inspire participants to transform Virginia into a leader in the provision of quality community-based services.  Attendees include state and local public and private providers of community-based services - both DD Waiver and MH Services, private not-for-profit providers, school transition professionals, local CSB providers, vocational rehabilitation professionals, DARS ESOs, AbilityOne providers, mental health service providers, OneStop workplace professionals, and individuals with disabilities. Join us at the Norfolk waterfront for an energizing and inspiring conference filled with best practice information, as well as opportunities to renew and expand relationships with your public and private sector peers.  FAQs Lodging - A special Collaborations Conference group lodging rate of $98 is available on a first come, first served basis through October 28, 2022.
