What an incredible afternoon!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the very first KC IDD and Autism Network networking event. It was wonderful to see so many people come together to connect, share resources, and learn more about the amazing work happening throughout our community.

A huge thank you to Whit and Lola from Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities for taking the time to share more about the organization and the ways they support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Kansas. We also want to thank KCDD for sponsoring the event and providing lunch for everyone who attended.

We’re so grateful to everyone who showed up, introduced themselves, shared their work, and helped make this first gathering such a success.

This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to see the relationships, partnerships, and opportunities that grow from this network!
