Three day national Issues Forum for new
executive level leaders of vocational rehabilitation
(VR) programs

The Executive Forum

The National Rehabilitation Leadership Institute offers a three day national forum for the executive level leaders of vocational rehabilitation (VR) programs. The Forum is designed to insure that new leaders have the knowledge and skills to meet the challenges facing today's public rehabilitation program.  The Forum is held once a year in Washington, DC.

The Issues Forum includes directors of general and combined state rehabilitation agencies, state agencies for the blind, and tribal rehabilitation agencies. The Forum targets chief deputies, or comparable individuals within the agency, and chairs of the State Rehabilitation and Independent Living Councils. Each participant is eligible to receive CRC credit. Reasonable accommodation needs of participants will be met.

The Issues Forum is tailored to meet the needs of each participant, based on his or her prior and current knowledge and experience. The Forum provides an opportunity to meet with leaders from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), consumer spokespersons, university faculty, policy makers and peers. Sessions are in seminar format with visits to Congress and federal agencies, including RSA. Interaction between and among the participants and the presenters is an important and ongoing part of the Forum.
