VIUCEDD and AARP to Host 16th Annual Policy Forum The Virgin Islands University Center for Excellence in Development Disabilities (VIUCEDD) and the Virgin Islands AARP presents its 16th Annual “Voices that Count Policy Forum.” The forum’s agenda will discuss ways to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and senior citizens in the Virgin Islands.

To protect our most valuable community members during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to transfer our in-person conference to a televised format. Our electoral candidates will have the opportunity to share their position on important policies so that informed choices can be made on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2020.

The St. Thomas-St. John District candidates will be aired at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21, and the St. Croix candidates will be aired at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22.  Both forums will broadcast on WTJX.
