Thank you for your interest!
The California State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) seeks individuals interested in joining the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) or its Regional Advisory Committees (RACs).
SCDD serves people with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities.
Apply to the California State Council- what does that mean?
It means:
- The Governor makes all State Council appointments.
- A time commitment of 10 to 15 hours a month to Council activities, including bi-monthly meetings in Sacramento and some virtual meetings on zoom.
- Your expenses for accommodation, meals, and travel are reimbursed, and a $100 stipend is provided to you after for each meeting.
- If you are recommended by the Council, you will need to complete an additional online application with the Governor’s Office, which can be found at the following link: Governor's Office Application
Apply to a Regional Advisory Committee- what does that mean?
It means:
- Regional Advisory Committee members are appointed directly by the State Council.
- These committees advise on local issues and needs.
- A time commitment of 2 to 6 hours a month.
- Your expenses are reimbursed, but no stipend is provided.
IMPORTANT: You can apply to both the Council and RAC but you can only serve on one at a time.
Applications are always welcome, though there may not be a vacancy/opening at the time. Applications will be reviewed as openings arise.
