The 2025 Policy Summit & Hill Day invites members and friends of the ANCOR community to Washington, DC, at a pivotal time. Recent threats to Medicaid, as well as other unprecedented challenges confronting people with disabilities and the service delivery system, make this an important moment for us to connect and advocate.
Anchored by our commitment to advocating on behalf of the community providers who make inclusion a reality each and every day, ANCOR’s 2025 Policy Summit & Hill Day will bring together leading advocates from the national I/DD community to amplify awareness about what’s new, now and next for community disability services.

Tony Coelho, Architect of ADA, to Deliver Closing Keynote Address
On the heels of the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), our closing keynote address will be delivered by The Honorable Tony Coelho. Coelho, who served in Congress from 1979-1989, was the primary sponsor of the ADA legislation in the House and is widely credited as the chief architect of the landmark disability rights legislation.
Given recent fights to protect federal Medicaid funding and the timeliness of this year’s DSP Recognition Week campaign, Coelho’s keynote will reflect on the legacy of the ADA and the work that still remains for advocates seeking to bring to fruition the promise of full community inclusion for people with disabilities.

Getting to Washington, DC
The closest airport is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and we recommend flying into DCA as it’s only five miles from the Summit venue and accessible by taxi, rideshare service (e.g., Lyft or Uber) or public transit (i.e., Metrorail Blue and Red Lines).
Other area airports include Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), which is about 30 miles from the Summit venue, and Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport (BWI), which is about 35 miles from the Summit venue.
For those located in East Coast cities served by Amtrak, you may find traveling by train to be the most efficient and affordable option. Amtrak serves Washington’s Union Station, which is a seven-minute walk from the Summit venue.
Getting Around Washington, DC
If you fly into DCA, taxis are available, as are rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. The cost of these options depends on level of service and time of day.
Metrorail, the D.C. area’s subway system, is also a convenient option for travelers flying into Washington National Airport.
From the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Station, you can either take the Blue Line in the direction of Downtown Largo or the Yellow Line in the direction of Mt. Vernon Square/7th Street/Convention Center. For either option, transfer to the Red Line at Metro Center Station and board a Red Line train in the direction of Glenmont. Get off at Union Station. From there, the Summit venue is a 0.4-mile walk along E Street NW.
As any Washingtonian will tell you, you should check Metro’s operating status before deciding to use this option. The system tends to be efficient and reliable, but track work or other delays can make for a long trip.
