MCD 50th Anniversary Project
MCD is gathering stories and the history of the agency for our 50th Anniversary activities.
Your experiences and stories have shaped the disability rights movement and are instrumental in how MCD works. Our history is not possible without you.
Do you have stories, photographs, and other items that would help us tell the story of disability rights over the last fifty years? What stories of access and inclusion do you have?
Email Ginger Hedstrom to learn more about participating in the MCD 50th Anniversary Project.
Apply to the Minnesota Council on Disability
Be a part of shaping the future of disability policy as we engage policymakers, government leaders, and the public to make a positive difference.
The governor appoints council members from all over the state to represent the interests of the people. Council members provide guidance and oversight for MCD as we advise the Governor’s Office, the legislature, state agencies, and the public on various disability issues.
If you are someone who has a disability, someone who works with people with disabilities, or a family member of a person with a disability, council membership may be for you!
