ADPN membership renewal time is upon us again. The end of May marks the end of our financial year. Invoices will be sent out to all current members, but for disability providers who are not members at present, we would like to see you become part of this strong team.
Our vision is for an inclusive future for people with disabilities in the Auckland region. More than ever with the move towards the Super City, we are working to ensure the political leaders are aware that people with disabilities are people first, with all the same needs, desires and RIGHTS as anyone else. Access from every aspect is being championed by the ADPN on behalf of all people with disabilities.
Our mission focuses on Disability Providers working together to ensure access to, and equity of services, for people with disabilities and their supporters. Advancing the collective strength of Auckland Disability Providers.
As a member of the ADPN, your organisation can feel part of the action and have a voice when issues are addressed.

The Auckland Disability Providers Network Inc is proud to facilitate the circulation of information that affects the Disability Sector in the Auckland Region. “Networking” is the name of the game and so many people tell us that they really value the information that comes to them on a regular basis and also, the opportunity for them to get the word about events and issues out to interested people.
To this end, we have recently acquired a new database which will be more efficient and will enable us to be more effective and responsive and generally provide a better service. However, many people are known to us by their email address only.
If you are NOT a FINANCIAL MEMBER of the ADPN, but would like to receive the information that is circulated on a regular basis, please complete the following information for us. (We have member information on file). Only those who send in their information will be included in future. It is OK for more than one person from an organisation to be on the database, but we must have the details requested in order to be entered on the list.
Confidentiality: Please be assured that any information given will not be used by anyone else and will not be passed to any other person or organisation.
Information required:
Name of Organisation
Person’s name
Title
Postal Address
Post code
Email
Phone/s
Website if any
Deadline: We need the information by the end of March. After that date, we will be using the new database and our existing lists will be deleted.
If you send an email, it will be done in no time and you won’t need to think about it again! – PLEASE PUT IN THE SUBJECT LINE: ADPN new database
In December 2009, the ADPN made a submission to the Auckland Regional Council on the draft Auckland Regional Land Transport Strategy. The submission was drawn up following consultation with representatives from the sector. As a result of this we have been invited to speak at a hearing in February 2010 at which we will reinforce the need for people with disabilities to be considered at all times when long term plans for transport around the region are being made.
