Today RAMP Curriculum and Training Manager Alice and RAMPs System Advocacy Coordinator Eric had the pleasure of joining the Central Illinois Agency on Aging (CIAA) in Peoria for their annual meeting. We were able to meet with their staff to discuss the importance of the Independent Living Philosophy and explore ways for the disability community to work more closely with the agencies serving older adults.The image below shows Alice, Tessa (the Executive Director of the Central Illinois Agency on Aging and Eric.
