IL
Conversations is a CIL-Net presentation hosted by APRIL in cooperation with
ILRU and NCIL, and provides IL practitioners with an opportunity to talk with
colleagues about the nuts and bolts of running a center for independent living
and providing core and other services, as well as to address broader state and
national issues impacting CILs, SILCs, and people with disabilities. Watch for
our next IL Conversation Announcement! Different facilitators who are
currently working in the field will join us to lead the discussion, answer
questions and refer participants to additional resources.

IMPORTANT Independent Living issue, call the APRIL Bridgeline,
