US Senate candidate Representative Rick Noriega with CTD's Dennis Borel
You simply cannot miss the incredible line-up CTD has put together for you! US Senate candidate Representative Rick Noriega has confirmed as Keynote speaker for CTD’s 30th Annual Convention. State Senator Judith Zaffirini, Texas’ top legislator on disability issues and Vice Chair of the Senate Finance Committee and Barbara Ann Radnofsky, always a friend of the disability community and planning on running for Texas Attorney General in 2010, round out a great slate of speakers from the world of politics. In conjunction with the Texas Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), and local co-host SAILS, CTD’s 30th Annual Convention will be held on September 5-7 in San Antonio at the El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel. In addition, we will hold the following four breakout sessions:
- Life after a traumatic brain injury
- Interim legislative strategies/critical legislative issues
- Work without losing your medical coverage: Medicaid Buy-In
- Mainstreaming veterans with disabilities
On Saturday, we will feature the Texas premiere of “Swim”, a documentary film about two servicemen who attempt to swim across the Straits of Gibraltar, separating Europe and Africa. This journey, featured on Good Morning America, occurred to raise awareness of the many veterans returning to the U.S. with service-related disabilities. "Swim" just won the American Pride Films Award at the GI Film Festival in Washington over Memorial Day weekend.
CTD will hold an Extreme Sports Panel on Sunday, featuring athletes with disabilities who participate in quad rugby, kayaking, skydiving and shooting sports. Plus, help determine CTD’s advocacy goals in the classic grass roots resolutions process. And more!
