Recruiting Advisory Members to the GCDD
The Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities is
accepting applications from individuals with developmental
disabilities and family members to become Advisory Members to
the GCDD. Advisory members are not appointed by the
Governor to the GCDD but have the same roles and
responsibilities as those appointed except they cannot vote on
issues presented to the GCDD. Advisory members are
valuable to the GCDD in understanding the needs and issues in
Georgia. After having served a two-year term, Advisory members
are recommended to the Governor to serve as full GCDD members as
openings became available. Like appointed members, Advisory
members are expected to attend GCDD and committee meetings, take
responsibility and follow through on assignments, and open doors
to communities that they participate in. Applications
are due into the GCDD offices by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday July 1,
2008. Click
