Down Syndrome Affiliates in Action--Your Place to Be
At DSAIA, we strive to support the growth and capacity of local and regional Down syndrome associations. We provide the connections, the inspiration, training, and resources so that our members can meet the needs of individuals with Down syndrome in their communities. Our members are leaders in every sense of the word.
We are thrilled to announce that Down Syndrome Affiliates in Action has merged into the operations of the National Down Syndrome Congress! In the coming months, we will be launching a DSAIA member portal within the NDSC website.
While both organizations have been deeply committed to improving the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families, our approaches are different, but complementary. Together, our missions overlap in a shared goal of enhancing the well-being of people with Down syndrome. Our new NDSC website will include a dedicated DSAIA member portal, allowing members continued access to the invaluable resources they’ve relied on for years. Through Learning Circles, members can connect with other DSA leaders to exchange ideas and resources that strengthen their organizations. Members will also have the opportunity to learn from one another through our Member2Member Webinar Series.
