Join Us

Join us for a very special 10th First Place Global Leadership Institute Symposium Kickoff Event on Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
 
Enjoy an exclusive screening of In a Different Key: The Movie—the first-ever, full-length documentary to travel the timeline of society’s tense and often misguided response to people on the autism spectrum. The film also highlights how First Place and SARRC, together with valued collaborators, have helped shape our community to be more supportive and inclusive of those with autism.
 
This private screening will adhere to COVID-19 protocols for strategically spaced seating filling just 50% of the theater. We also strongly encourage audience members to wear face masks for your protection and that of others.
