Council Staff

The DD Act supports the DD Council Director to recruit and hire additional staff for the DD Council (Section 125 (c) (8)). Council staff helps the Executive Director more efficiently implement the directives set by the Council.  Resources are provided to assist and support DD Council Staff as they fulfill their roles and responsibilities.

If you are a newly hired DD Council staff member, please review the Orientation to the DD Council Program resource.
