SALT - Self Advocacy Leadership Team

SALT is a standing Committee of People First dedicated to legislative and policy advocacy.
It is the policy of the Self Advocacy Leadership Team to choose issues that are important to the wider community and not just people who experience disabilities. SALT strives to strengthen the community for everyone. The challenge comes when we try to break down an issue into achievable goals. As a team, we believe in collaboration with other community groups.

SALT began as a task force of the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities, and has since taken on a life of its own. The group is committed to ensuring that disability does not prevent them or anyone else from living life to the fullest. The Self-Advocacy Leadership Team (SALT) serves as consultants for the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities and other Advocacy Organizations. Our group's members are talented citizens who want to effect positive change in New Hampshire. We are committed to supporting people who experience disabilities by tackling big issues that keep us from living quality lives in the community.
