As the Academy marks 40 years during a time of profound change and debate about the future of our social contract, we convened our annual Policy Summit in Washington, D.C.

Launched in collaboration with the Roosevelt Institute, the Disability Economic Policy Research Consortium convenes thought leaders and experts to explore what’s needed to break the persistent link between disability and poverty.

The Academy’s 2025 Policy Summit lunchtime brought experts from the Academy’s membership to give lightning talks on a variety of social insurance topics.
