Why Membership Matters
The quality programs and services your family member receives from DDA are here today. How do you know they will be here tomorrow? Ensure DDA's programs and services continue into the future by becoming a member of the Developmental Disabilities Association.
Membership gives you power, power to influence. With a DDA membership YOU have authority to affect the direction of this organization, have a voice in government, change policy, and ultimately, protect the rights of your loved one. A membership with the Developmental Disabilities Association not only shows your support for the programs and services your loved one receives today, but builds our base of support for the future.
In order to accomplish our combined objectives, we need the support of membership. We need families, self advocates and community members to support our mission and embrace new leadership roles to sustain this organization for generations to come.
