MOHR/ARRM 2024 Disability Services Day at the Capitol: March 19, 2024

The MOHR/ARRM Disability Services Day at the Capitol will be held in person this year on Tuesday, March 19th. The purpose of this annual event is to educate Minnesota State Legislators about the legislative issues impacting disability services. The event will consist of a rally in the Capitol Rotunda, followed by meetings with legislators.  

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

We're partnering with ARRM this year for a single, coordinated registration process, and you only need to use this registration process if you want to participate in a joint MOHR/ARRM meeting with your legislators. The annual rally in the rotunda is again open to all, so registration is not needed if you are planning on attending the rally ONLY. Here is the registration link, with a registration deadline of Feb. 16th.
