Our Policy Council Members are comprised of volunteers from our parents and members of our communities. They’re a vital part of our program by providing insight to the agency, including voting approval on various items. They serve as a representative of their respective areas and bring information from our parents to the administration and deliver information back to our parents. They serve one-year terms at a time and can serve up to five total terms. New members are to be elected annually and attend meetings with the agency administration approximately every other month.
