Conferences, Roundtables and Events
The Coelho Center hosts regular conferences, roundtables and events throughout the year on issues important to our community. With an emphasis on centering disabled voices, we bring together thought leaders, advocates and policy makers to discuss and craft agendas that seek positive change for the disability community. We also focus on developing opportunities and creating space for new members to engage in these discussions.
To suggest a topic or to co-host an event with The Coelho Center, reach out to Katherine Perez at Katherine.Perez@lls.edu.
