Call for Applications for Appointments to KCDC

Posted August 17, 2010 by Mandy Smith in

The Kansas Commission on Disability Concerns (KCDC) is taking applications for consideration for appointment. KCDC is an advisory body to state government for changes to state programs, laws and regulations that improve participation of Kansans with disabilities in those programs and their communities.  The commission must have representation of a variety of disabilities, geographic locations and organizations.  The five positions open for appointment include representation from centers for independent living, K-12 education, respite care, and parents of a child with disabilities. Geographic locations include, Lawrence, Johnson County, Andover, Wichita and Hays.  Consideration will be given to filling these gaps first. Others may apply and be considered if too few applications are received that would replace these folks.

A copy of the board roles and responsibilities are located here.  If you would like to be considered for appointment, please complete the application and either e-mail, fax or mail it to Martha Gabehart (1-800-295-5232,  mgabehart@kcdcinfo.com) by August 27.

Please share this invitation to apply to others you think would be interested.
