AGENCY INVITATION:

The focus of TRI’s annual Disability Awareness Fair is to raise public awareness of individuals with disabilities in our community and showcase a wide array of services and supports that are available to them. We invite you to encourage your staff/employees and their families to meet other participating agencies and/or businesses like yours that offer resources to promote independent living assistance to persons with all types of disabilities.

Disability is only part of who a person is, not the whole person.

Located below is a registration form and an example of the Certificate of Liability Insurance (COI) that is required. If you have already submitted a COI to the mall for another event during 2023, simply submit a copy of it to me, as I will need a copy as well.

Now for the good stuff!
