The Brookings Committee for People who have Disabilities strives
to advocate for the rights of people who have disabilities in our
community. Throughout the year, specific events are held to bring
awareness and information to our citizens. Technical assistance
is provided to the business community, private individuals, governmental
entities and nonprofit organizations. This is a service not provided
by any other entity in Brookings. The goals of this service are
to improve the quality of life for people who have disabilities
through enhancing the knowledge base of entities in the community
and to further serve as a community-based advocacy group enhancing
the ability of local entities to comply with Federal Civil Rights
legislation.
