"Making Your Case."

Dear Colleague:

Tremendous work is being done throughout the country regarding
people with disabilities. For all you do, thank you!

And whether you're working with boards, policymakers, individuals,
agencies, funders or other stakeholders, there is always a need to
clearly convey the Who, What, When, Where, and (especially) Why of
your activities.

Because this need is so widespread and so integral to accomplishing
goals, we are pleased to announce a free, Internet-based learning
program called "Making Your Case."

There is no cost for this interactive, self-paced learning program.
It takes about three hours to complete, and is available 24 hours
per day, seven days a week.

"Making Your Case" was developed after many years of research on
effective advocacy methods at the local, state and federal levels,
and incorporates the best that "e-learning" tools have to offer.

By taking part in this free learning program, participants will be
better able to:

·         Effectively "tell their story" to policymakers;

·         Identify which policymakers would be most helpful in
bringing about positive change;

·         Write effective letters and emails;

·         Conduct productive meetings with policymakers;

·         Give effective testimony and answers to questions; and

·         Organize with others to address important issues.

"Making Your Case" has been designed for use by people with
disabilities, family members, and concerned citizens. The program
can be accessed any time by going to

We urge all interested parties to take advantage of this free
resource. We would greatly appreciate your mentioning this
opportunity in your next newsletter, listserv or other
communications with those you serve, and forwarding this message to
anyone who might be interested.

Please contact the Minnesota Council on Developmental Disabilities
for further information or to make comments regarding the web site.
And, let us know by return email (
MinnesotaDDCouncil@xxxxxxx )
if
you prefer to not receive future announcements.

Thanks again for your consideration of this ongoing project.

Sincerely, Colleen Wieck, Executive Director, Minnesota Governor's
Council on Developmental Disabilities
