The CEDAR Centre has been a long time supporter and educator of those with a disability and to end 2017 on the right note, they have organised drinks and canapes and a great line-up to carry on the Christmas conversation †‘Living with a Disability at a Time of Travel and Celebration.
The event is being sponsored by the Newlands Group and The Office and is the first of what is planned to be a series of ‘Conference Conversations’ in 2018.
This session will take place Wednesday, 20th December from 3pm †4.30pm at The Office in Duggan Street, Toowoomba, and people from care organisations, senior and frontline staff, teachers, employers with or planning to recruit staff with a disability, church groups, those interested in seeking employment in the disability sector and individuals and families living with a disability, are all encouraged to come along.
Guest speakers include:
- Sharon Boyce, founder of Discovering Disabilities and Diversity
- Anna Nicholls, CEO of CEDAR Centre
- Jen Shaw, Founder of ‘Emerge’, author and food celebrity
- Carolyn Hunter, founder of Ben & Co and mum of Ben Hunter
- Anne Button-Smith, Local Area Coordinator with Toowoomba NDIS
After some short presentations, an open Q & A style discussion will be facilitated, then networking.
Anna Nicholls, CEO of CEDAR Centre said, “This is a busy time of year for everyone, with the stresses even more accentuated in a family with disabilities. We wanted to have a relaxed event that allowed the conversation for awareness to take place and for those in the industry or curious about it, to have a networking opportunity to come along and ask questions.â€Â
