Drawing from real-life examples and lessons learned\, Mindee will share practical strategies for building meaningful relationships across generations and abilities. \n\n\n\nAttendees will also leave with simple\, effective communication tips that help people confidently connect with those who may think\, communicate\, or experience the world differently—making it easier to create “all ages and abilities” communities where everyone has the opportunity to belong and contribute. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nMindee Hardin is the Founder and Executive Director of Miah Families\, a Washington County nonprofit dedicated to reducing isolation by creating meaningful relationships across all ages and abilities. After more than 25 years as an entrepreneur\, educator\, author\, speaker\, and community leader\, Mindee has focused her work on one of today’s greatest challenges: helping people move from simply living near one another to truly knowing\, supporting\, and belonging with one another. \n\n\n\nWe hope to see you there!  \n\n\n\nJoin us for an informative and inspiring meeting focused on learning\, connection\, and collaboration within our IDD community. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to continuing the year together with collaboration and purpose. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://nhcares.zoom.us/j/96873205897?pwd=9s9cZ34sOJvQTJuZLefRSSlsvd5RWJ.1
