2012 Legislative Education Project
The Governor´s Council on Disability and the Missouri Statewide Independent Living Council collaborate on sponsoring the Legislative Education Project (LEP) during the legislative session.
The LEP´s mission is to educate and motivate individuals by providing opportunities to become active in creating positive public policies for people with disabilities.
The LEP is available for individuals/organizations that are novice to the legislation process or need additional learning about the Missouri legislative process regarding disability policies or proposed legislation that impact people with disabilities.
New revisions for 2012:
To participate in the LEP individuals or organizations will have the option of registering for either a webcast or the LEP training at the Capitol. LEP is available to individuals or organizations. LEP at the Capitol may be either a one-day or two-day learning experience. The two-day training provides a more intensive learning process. The individual or organizations are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their representatives or senators prior to coming to the Capitol. LEP at the Capitol is facilitated by mentors who are knowledgeable on disability policies. The mentors will escort the individuals or organizations at the Capitol.
The Governor´s Council on Disability does not charge a fee for the webcast or the training materials and information provided during the LEP. Each participant is responsible for his or her own food, travel, and lodging expenses.
An LEP certificate of completion will be provided when the individual or organization has completed the requirements for the LEP at the Capitol.
To attend a webcast or LEP training at the Capitol, please complete the online registration.
