JULY 2008
Recruiting Advisory Members to the GCDD
Application Deadline: July 1, 2008
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.
