The Minnesota Council for Learning disabilities was organized as a chapter in the 1980's. It has statewide representation and many leaders in the field of learning disabilities are members. MCLD membership is on the rise and a different approach to budgeting has made this chapter a stable and vibrant organization. MCLD has sponsored an Outstanding Professional and a Teacher of the Year every year. Next year, MCLD is adding Action Reach Grant Awards to its lineup of speaker and workshop sponsorship.
