North Texas Disability Chamber (NTXDC) was founded in December of 2020 (formerly DylanListed Connect). This Disability Chamber is the 5th cross-disability chamber in the nation and 4th in Texas!
Vision: We serve as regional leaders in advancing accessibility, equity, and disability inclusion in North Texas and beyond.
The organization's guiding pillars are threefold:
Our five values that drive our guiding pillars are community, collaboration, confidence, equity, and inclusion.
The North Texas Disability Chamber (NTXDC) shall promote a more cohesive, transparent, informed, regional, member-based, cross-disability community via events and education hosted at accessible locations across North Texas.
As the North Texas Disability Chamber celebrates five years of impact, we are focused not simply on doing more. Our focus has shifted on building a stronger, sustainable organization that can serve North Texas for years to come. Your investment helps us strengthen the infrastructure, programs, and community connections necessary to advance accessibility, opportunity, and belonging for people with disabilities.
