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 listserve
