representing today?

You need to know:

GoToTraining will be recorded so you

can listen to them later

We will take a break as needed not at

a certain time

If you have a question, say your name

and then ask the question about the

current topic

If needed we will create a parking lot

for other questions

4

Long History of success:

In the past this training was two and a half days

long and done in person!

We learned the importance of partnership and

made a guide

Technical assistance from our team and the

supports made the trainings stronger

Training evaluations show us how important it is

to future elections

5

Why we are having trainings:

It has been difficult to do

because of the cost

We want self advocates and

their allies to teach each other

how to use on-line tools

Purpose of the TrainingTo Learn About

Increase voters with cognitive disabilities

Participants will learn how to use the toolkit

Work together as a team with self advocacy

groups and P&As

Learning the message of HAVA: All

individuals with disabilities have the right to

vote privately and Independently

How to Create a good working partnership?

• Because we are not sure how much

training each state has done

• Representatives from P&A and Self Advocacy

Group meet together at the same location for the

webinars

• State Teams need to meet to do homework and

practice training sessions
