The CT Council on Developmental Disabilities is taking applications for Council membership from people with developmental disabilities and parents of children with developmental disabilities.  Selected applicants will be interviewed.  Recommendations for appointment to the Council will be submitted to the Governor’s Office.  Council members serve a three (3) year term that is renewable for another 3 years.

Council meetings are generally held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the 2nd Tuesday of January, March, June, September and November.  An overnight Retreat is usually held on a Friday-Saturday in May.  Council Members are also expected to participate on one of the Council’s standing committees and at least one site visit evaluation of Council grantees.  Council members are reimbursed for meeting expenses and receive a small stipend.
