The WVU Center for Excellence in Disabilities (CED) Center Advisory Committee (CAC) is soliciting interest for new members to be appointed to the Committee. At this time, the Committee is looking for a mix of West Virginia citizens who have developmental and other disabilities as well as family members of people with such disabilities. The CAC strives to reflect the racial, ethnic and geographical diversity of the state.
The Center Advisory Committee is an organization that is established by the WVU CED under the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (P.L. 106-402). The Committee's work is to advise the WVU CED regarding civil rights, needs and services for people with disabilities that help assure their full inclusion in their communities. More specifically, the Committee advises the Center on the development and progress on its five (5) Year Plan and to inform the Center on the needs of people with disabilities and the services provided by the Center.
Apply online to be considered for the Committee.
