IEDC,
I am very grateful and honored to be a member of the IEDC. A group made up of an array of different agencies, organizations, corporations and community partners all working for the same goal - to serve the people with disabilities throughout the Inland Empire. I appreciate the professional knowledge that is presented by the montly guest speakers; which enables me to leave each meeting with valuable information that I in turn can share and distribute to the community.
Sincerely,
Victoria Hall Mental Health Specialist County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health Community Outreach and Education
