State Rehabilitation Council

SRC Board Members

Each state is required to have a State Rehabilitation Council, which provides oversight and advice on the operations of Rehabilitation Services agencies after consulting with the State Workforce Investment Board. Council members are appointed by the Governor and represent a broad range of individuals with disabilities and organizations interested in individuals with disabilities. Many of the council members are also citizens with disabilities. The State Rehabilitation Council, which convenes quarterly, provides input into development of the Rehabilitation Agency's State Plan. With annual updates, the State Plan focuses on the use of innovative means for achieving long-term success in expanding and improving Vocational Rehabilitation Services. The State Rehabilitation Council also coordinates with other councils within the state, assists with public forums, and prepares an annual report to the Governor.
