Apply by November 8, 2019 to become a member of the Governor's Committee on
Disability Issues & Employment

OLYMPIA - If you're interested in issues affecting people with disabilities and want to influence state decision makers, apply by November 8, 2019 to become a member of the Governor's Committee on Disability Issues & Employment (GCDE).

The GCDE is currently recruiting members to fill twelve (12) vacancies on the 27-member committee. New members are appointed by the governor to serve an initial three-year term, with an opportunity to be reappointed for a second term.

Committee members can live anywhere in Washington state and must be people with a disability, have family member(s) with a disability, or work as an advocate for people with disabilities.

Members identify issues and concerns about the rights and needs of people with disabilities, making recommendations to the governor, Legislature, state agencies, business community, organized labor, public and private organizations, and the general public.

In terms of time commitment, GCDE committee members meet:

  *   In person at subcommittee meetings; and
  *   By conference calls and webinars; and
  *   At three in-person meetings of the full committee, usually held in the Olympia-Lacey area.

The GCDE has four standing subcommittees. New members usually choose to serve on one or two subcommittees that interest them. The GCDE chairperson makes final decisions about subcommittee appointments based on the needs of the subcommittees.

Subcommittees meet every six to eight weeks and more often if necessary to complete projects.

For more information about the qualifications for and responsibilities of GCDE committee members, check out the Become a Member webpage<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTkxMDE0LjExNDg4MTExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE5MTAxNC4xMTQ4ODExMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2NzkwNTgyJmVtYWlsaWQ9bm5pZ2h0aW5nYWxlQGNvbWNhc3QubmV0JnVzZXJpZD1ubmlnaHRpbmdhbGVAY29tY2FzdC5uZXQmdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZtdmlkPSZleHRyYT0mJiY=&&&101&&&https://esd.wa.gov/GCDE/member?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery>.

Committee members also join subcommittees that work on a variety of projects<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTkxMDE0LjExNDg4MTExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE5MTAxNC4xMTQ4ODExMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2NzkwNTgyJmVtYWlsaWQ9bm5pZ2h0aW5nYWxlQGNvbWNhc3QubmV0JnVzZXJpZD1ubmlnaHRpbmdhbGVAY29tY2FzdC5uZXQmdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZtdmlkPSZleHRyYT0mJiY=&&&102&&&https://esd.wa.gov/GCDE/projects?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery>, such as community outreach, the Youth Leadership Forum and an employer awards program.

"Being a member of the Governors Committee on Disability Issues and Employment has rewarded my life in numerous ways" according to Janet Bruckshen, Executive Director of Washington Vocational Services. "I have found the diversity of experience among the people who serve alongside me has enriched my personal and professional life. The opportunity to contribute to the good of the community has broadened my sphere of influence and by bringing these experiences back to my own organization, has enhanced my leadership skills.  I have met key players in my profession, broadened my network circle, and gained insight from a diverse board with common goals. My commitment to serve on the committee has definitely been an equal exchange."
