Please provide your valuable insight for your Local Alliance!

🎉 Attention Self Advocates in Umatilla and Morrow Counties 🎉

The Umatilla/Morrow County Local Alliance wants to hear from you!
We are working on planning future activities, events, workshops, classes, and meetings, and we want to make sure we are offering opportunities that people in our community are interested in.

We created a short survey to help us learn:
• What activities and events you would like to attend
• What workshops or classes interest you
• What days and times work best for you
• The best way to keep you informed about upcoming events
• What would make it easier for you to participate
• Ideas for our upcoming Christmas Bowling Party, including prizes you would like to win

🎁 Complete the survey by October 15th to be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card!
The winner will be able to choose a gift card from Amazon, Walmart, or Hermiston Movie Theater.

Please complete the survey here:

We would also appreciate it if you would share the survey with individuals with I/DD, families, DSPs/PSWs, providers, and others who may be interested in participating in the Umatilla/Morrow County Local Alliance.

Your feedback will help us plan activities and opportunities that our community wants to participate in.

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. Your voice matters!

People with IDD have the right to make their own choices — even when there's risk involved. Join trainers Nick Kaasa and Lindsay Dutton on October 6, 2026 from 10:00-11:30 AM to learn about Supporting Dignity of Risk.

This interactive training will help you learn the difference between what is important TO someone and what is important FOR someone, so you can balance safety and autonomy with the people you support.

Several of our staff had a wonderful time volunteering last night at the Rascal Rodeo Blaze a Trail Fun Run! It was so incredible to see community members, partner agencies, folks we serve, and their families all get together to raise money for a great cause. We are already looking forward to next year!
