TN Disability will be posting giant sticky notes on the walls of the main meeting room (Cascades A at the Fall Creek Falls Lodge). Each sticky note will introduce a hot topic in disability policy. The text of the sticky notes is accessible at this link. We will encourage attendees to add your own small sized sticky note with a comment or question to our large sticky notes as you are able throughout the event. Staff will also be onsite to assist. Another option is to email your thoughts or questions to Jeff Strand at: Jeff_s@tndisability.org
