DD Day at the Legislature
Every year the Council co-sponsors Developmental Disabilities Day at the Legislature. We do this with the Developmental Disabilities Coalition. Hundreds of people with developmental disabilities, family members, advocates, and service providers come together in Annapolis.
Legislators, state leaders, and other advocates will provide information about issues that are important to people with developmental disabilities and their families. This is a great way to learn more about the legislative process and how to advocate about the issues important to you.
Join us on Wednesday, February 18 for DD Day at the Legislature 2026. DD Day will run from 8 am to 11 am at the Graduate by Hilton hotel in Annapolis.
Registration for the in-person event is sold out. You can register for the waitlist here. You can watch a live stream of the event online on the DD Coalition’s Facebook page.
For any questions about the event or accommodations, please contact Luc Chausse, Director of Communications and Engagement at The Arc Maryland, at lchausse@thearcmd.org.
