ADvancing States-sponsored

The Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) in collaboration with ADvancing States, the National Aging and Disability I&R Support Center, and military family support specialists will hold the 37th Annual I&R Training and Education Conference, "AIRS: Branding I&R Excellence," in Dallas, Texas, from May 27th to 30th. The Annual National Aging and Disability I&R/A Symposium will take place as a pre-conference summit on May 27.

Presenters will review general information about 2-1-1 organizations and ADRCs, and highlight both successes and challenges they have faced in pursuing partnerships between the two types of organizations.

The vision of the 2013 Hawaii HCBS Conference is to bring a national level conference to Hawaii. The Hawaii Executive Office on Aging has partnered with ADvancing States to run this event. Many of you may know that ADvancing States sponsors the national HCBS conference each year and we are pleased that they have agreed to power this event. Our participants will include federal, state, and local policymakers and those who administer, manage and deliver waiver and other HCBS programs. Participants will hear from leaders from the U.S.
