The SC Independent Living Council is holding its 10th annual Pathways to Independence Conference on October 31st - November 1st, 2008 at the Springmaid Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Pathways to Independence Conference is the only statewide cross disability conference in South Carolina. It is also the only one that is designed and implemented by people with disabilities. Participants include individuals with and without disabilities from across the state.
At Pathways, people with disabilities are the majority, not the minority. People are valued for who they are, and their abilities, not their disabilities. The Pathways conference offers six workshops, a networking social and a luncheon to give participants a chance to learn, ask questions, practice their skills and most importantly, to meet other people with disabilities.
The purpose of the Pathways to Independence Conference is to teach people with and without disabilities about their rights and responsibilities regarding disability and civil rights issues. It has been proven that knowledge is power and there is power in numbers. The Pathways Conference is the only statewide conference that addresses the issues that all people with disabilities have in common.
The conference fees are $40.00 for participants and $25.00 for personal attendants / friends / family members. The conference offers scholarships to people with disabilities for overnight stay and registration.
A big thank you to everyone for making last years Pathways to Independence Conference a success!! We look forward to seeing you again this year!!
