ABOUT INFONET

Your elected officials face very difficult choices every day, and the decisions they make affect your life. The people representing you, from the White House and Congress to your state capitol and county courthouse, need to know your story so they can make informed decisions. Now more than ever, it is important for Iowans with disabilities and their family members to take action. That is why the Iowa DD Council created infoNET.
