Community Networking Events by ACANY

Connecting providers, community partners, and families, while elevating the voices of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

ACANY’s Community Networking Events bring together Care Managers, providers, community organizations, and families to share resources, build relationships, and strengthen coordinated, person-centered care.

We are honored to be adding a wonderful new feature to events this year.  We will be featuring, at select locations, Unseen, a powerful documentary that highlights the lived experiences of individuals with IDD and their families—grounding each gathering in real stories, reflection, and shared understanding.

At these events, you can:

• Learn about programs and services available in your region
• Connect directly with providers and community partners
• Build meaningful relationships that support collaboration and access to care

Who Should Attend

• OPWDD HCBS Waiver Providers
• Community-Based and Health Care Organizations
