Commissioners Recognize March as Developmental Disabilities Month AM Mar 21 KB

Douglas County Commissioners have issued a proclamation recognizing March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.

A County release said the proclamation, issued at the Board’s weekly business meeting last Wednesday, shines a spotlight on the individuals, families, and agencies who work to advocate for the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities. It also recognizes that individuals with and without disabilities live and work side by side locally to form stronger and more diverse communities.

The release said prior to the meeting, commissioners extended an invitation to several individuals and agencies that work directly with clients who have developmental disabilities to attend a special proclamation presentation to acknowledge the important work they do.

Commissioner Chris Boice read the proclamation and then presented nine local agencies and their clients with Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month proclamation certificates.
