Help us find new Virtual Insight Panel (VIP) members
Disability Hub MN™ needs your help to recruit people to join our Virtual Insight Panel (VIP).
Since 2017, the Hub’s VIP group has brought together 200 people with disabilities, their parents/guardians and DHS’ Disability Services Division in a partnership that helps improve state programs for people with disabilities.

While we welcome all referrals, we'd like your help to recruit underrepresented populations, especially people living in greater Minnesota and those from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. We know we often miss out on their opinions and insight — we seek their valued contributions.
