The Arc of Nebraska (arc-nebraska.org) will host its Annual Senatorial Dinner on Tuesday, March 3, from 4 to 8:30 p.m. at Embassy Suite Downtown Lincoln. The formal banquet brings together self-advocates, Nebraska senators, disability service providers, families, and community members for an evening dedicated to leadership, advocacy, and impact. The event highlights the voices of individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities while recognizing outstanding community leaders through the Advocate of the Year awards. Attendees will share in fellowship, celebrate progress in disability rights, and engage in conversations that encourage a more inclusive future for all Nebraskans.
For more than 70 years, The Arc of Nebraska has served as a statewide nonprofit organization advocating for the rights and full participation of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The organization connects families and self-advocates with resources, educational training, and community programming while empowering individuals to speak up for themselves year-round. Looking ahead to 2026, The Arc of Nebraska aims to expand civic engagement through accessible voting education and increase employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities across the state.
