Boulder County is calling on locals to help shape the future of services for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, and brain injury. If you have lived experience in these areas or work as an advocate or professional in disability services, your insights are in demand for the IDD Mill Levy Advisory Council. The council plays a pivotal role, providing feedback on the allocation of local funds to support community programs and services.
According to Boulder County, council members convene monthly, typically on Mondays from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the format is adaptable, with online and hybrid meeting options to accommodate various members. The group does not have the authority to make final decisions; rather, it serves as an influential voice that contributes to the development of local initiatives.
There's a particular interest in applicants who have personal connections to the IDD community, whether through their own experiences or through supporting family members, but the opportunity also extends to those entrenched in the field of disability services. Those interested can apply by visiting the Boulder County Boards and Commissions webpage and looking for the IDD Mill Levy Advisory Council. It's not just about filling the two vacant seats on this council; there’s a broader call to fill 44 board positions across the county.
