LaCAN Community Input 2026


Come share your ideas on what YOU would like to see the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council advocate for during the 2027 Legislative Session.

✏️This year, Region 7 will have 2 opportunities for you to share your ideas on what issues *YOU* would like to see the Council address during this upcoming legislative session.

🌟Join us for dinner at Imperial Cathay in Shreveport Friday July 24th at 6pm to share your ideas for me to take back and share with the Council on what YOU would like them to address next legislative session

OR

🌟Join us for pizza at Tike's Treats & Eats on Youree Drive Friday, August 21 at 6pm in Shreveport to share your ideas for me to take back and share with the Council on what YOU would like them to address next legislative session

🚨You are welcome to come to either meeting OR both!

Can't make either meeting but have a wish-list of items you would like to see the Council advocate for?

📧Email them to me at mwebb@lacanadvocates.org OR fill out the registration form with your ideas (there is a space in the form for you to share at length!) & I will be happy to share your ideas and information with the Council for consideration.
