Upcoming Events:
​​​​​​​​​
October 29, 2025 - Postponed until further notice
Annual NDEAM Breakfast Celebration: “From Promise to Progress, 35 years of the ADA”
​
Important Update:
​The current federal shutdown has caused restrictions and delays in planning and organizing the event, as well as restricted attendance and travel for several planning to attend. In addition, more state and community organizations are facing negative impacts caused by the federal shutdown.
As a result, and to alleviate some of the budget concerns, KAEC has decided to postpone the event scheduled for October 29th until further notice. Once we have a new date, we will post it via KAECTN.org, as well as on social media, and email those who have registered as soon as we have one. We appreciate your continued interest and support.
