Council Openings

MCD advises the Governor, Legislature, state agencies and the public on disability issues. Issues the Council works on are accessibility/ADA, rights, employment and transportation policy, emergency preparedness and Olmsted.

  • Meetings are held six times per year, meeting locations may vary. During COVID, meetings are held virtually.
  • Council members are appointed by the Governor.
  • Members are reimbursed for mileage, meals and given a per diem stipend for work.
