NCCDD Council Members
Today, the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities is a 40-member, governor-appointed body and 60 percent of its members are people with developmental disabilities or family members of people with disabilities.
If you are interested in applying for membership on the Council, two application forms need to be completed. Application Form 1 is available online / pdf / doc format.
Additionally, the North Carolina Governor has issued an executive order for “Enhanced Disclosures from Applicants to Boards and Commissions” pdf / doc and an application form 2 pdf must be completed and sent to the Office of the Governor.
Feel free to view the Combined Council Packet from the May 2013 meeting.
