About Missouri AHEAD: An Historical Album

 

The Beginning:

In December 1985, a call went out from Keith Frank at Emporia State University to initiate a regional conference for service providers. The goal of the regional meeting was to provide the best possible services to students with disabilities by helping each other. Thus was born the first spring conference with two important criteria: to be inexpensive and enjoyable. The first conference was held at Council Grove Lake and since has moved to Tall Oaks Conference Center in Linwood, Kansas.

Mission:

At the 1987 conference, Arden Boyer-Stephens organized a steering committee to initiate a Missouri AHEAD chapter. Our mission was to develop a stronger local communication network. This network would strengthen the professionalism, expertise, and competency of personnel working with students who have disabilities at two- and four-year, public and private institutions of higher education.

Activities Include:

Improvement of programs through substantial networking opportunities such as legislative concerns, membership growth, and professional development programs.

  • Annual Great Plains regional conference

  • MOAHEAD listserv

  • Sponsorship of workshops on current topics

  • Development of resource materials

  • Presentations to community and professional organizations

  • Quarterly newsletter

  • Campus visits
