CSLN Regional Membership Forums
CSLN is bringing a forum to your area!
CSLN is sponsoring four regional forums for CSLN members throughout California. The forums will provide the opportunity for direct support providers and team leaders to come together in an effort to share, collaborate, learn, listen, create, question and celebrate.
Join us at a forum and you will…
- Meet other professionals in your community that “do what you do”
- Become up to date regarding current legislative and budgetary issues
- Create an individualized advocacy plan so that you can do your part to preserve services in California
- Be reminded of the Five Principles and how they effect the day to day provision of support
- Share resources
- Learn some new best practice strategies for providing support
And all this for the cost of lunch!
(Really—the cost of lunch is $10 and that is the total cost to attend)
July 10 - Southern California
July 17 - Sacramento and Far Northern
July 24 - Central Valley
July 31 - Bay Area

Become a Part of the CSLN Network!
The
network invites you to join our efforts to protect the rights
afforded California’s citizens with developmental disabilities
under the Lanterman Act. All services to people effected by
this law are in jeopardy as a result of the current state budget
crises, but supported living services are especially vulnerable.
Individuals, their family members, small “mom and pop” agencies,
and larger providers need to stand together . . . to continue
to insist on a person’s right to choose where he/she
will live, what support will look like, and who will provide
it. Together our voices will be heard and we can make a difference.
The
links below are PDF documents. Just
download to your computer, fill out the application
and invoice, include your membership dues and mail in. The
"Send" instructions are listed on the form.

SAMPLE LETTERS
(Zipped Word docs, 20 KB)
These are boilerplate letters to your Senate or Assembly member about the current financial crisis. They require only minor edits (or as much as you want) to be ready to send. Two are designed for agency use (one Senate and one Assembly), and two are from a consumer perspective (one Senate and one Assembly).
