The Iowa DD Council needs you! Are you 18 years or older with a developmental disability? Or are you a family member of a person with a developmental disability? And…
- Are you are interested in making communities more inclusive and supportive for people with developmental disabilities and their families?
- Are you interested in making systemic changes to Iowa’s service delivery systems and affecting housing, employment, education, health care, child care, support services, transportation, and other issues?
- Do you value self-determination and self-advocacy?
Then you may want to apply for the Iowa DD Council.
How Do I Apply?
Contact our office at 800-452-1936 for an application. You can also apply online at Iowa Talent Bank.
All Council members are appointed by the governor. Appointments are made in June each year. Occasionally an opening comes up during the year that you may be eligible for.
What is involved with membership?
The Council meets up to six times a year. Meetings are held generally on the second Thursday every other month at the DD Council office in Des Moines. The meetings start at 10:30 a.m. and last until 2:30 p.m. You may be asked to participate on ad-hoc committees, which would require additional time. You may also be asked to volunteer at Council-sponsored activities. Council members are also encouraged to represent the Council and discuss the Council’s mission, vision, and projects within their own community networks. The Council reimburses for transportation and other expenses related to your work on the Council.
