Save the Date: Workshop Day at the Capital Jan. 29

MASWM legislative consultant Lynne Schlosser has arranged with our state leaders for the 2025 Sheltered Workshop Products and Services Day on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Set up will start at 8:30 a.m. The event is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event will be in the same place as last year: Missouri State Capitol, 3rd Floor rotunda, Senate side.

This event has proven to be a very popular opportunity for shops to present their goods and services to state leaders. It’s also an excellent networking opportunity.

Day for Choice

The annual Day for Choice will be Wednesday, March 5, 2025, starting at 10 a.m. in Jefferson City. This annual event features groups of employees in green T-shirts visiting the state capitol. This year, the gathering will be in a new location, the Capitol building's downstairs rotunda, and will be more of a rally with a welcome speech, and testimony from employees and parents. As always, the event will promote the importance of employment choice for people with disabilities. Groups are urged to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.

Spring Annual Meeting

The MASWM Annual Meeting will be held Wednesday, April 30 through Friday, May 2 at Lake of the Ozarks, with a reception on the 30^th and key meetings Thursday and Friday, May 1 and 2. Last year’s meeting was a major success with outstanding breakout sessions and presentations. More details, including location, will be announced when available.
