CARE To Connect Accessibility Summit

CARE to Connect is a community-driven initiative advancing accessibility and inclusion throughout Hendricks County. Through awareness, education, and collaboration, our community is coming together to ensure Hendricks County is welcoming and accessible for residents, visitors, and employees of all abilities.

This summit brings together local businesses, nonprofit leaders, community partners, and advocates who understand that accessibility strengthens our entire county.

Accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do, it fuels economic growth, supports workforce development, enhances visitor experiences, and builds long-term success for Hendricks County.

Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to create more inclusive workplaces, accessible attractions, welcoming events, and barrier-free public spaces.
