The Board of Directors (BOD), Mental Health Advisory Council (MHAC), and Disability Advisory Council (DAC) play a major role in shaping our agency wide priority setting process. The BOD is made up of people with disabilities, family members, allies, and professionals who support DRW’s strategic planning. The MHAC is made up of people with mental health disabilities, family members, and allies who are invested in DRW’s PAIMI work. DAC is made up of exclusively people with disabilities who are invested in building voting power in the disability community.

We are actively seeking members of both councils and the Board who understand disability justice and can help us keep learning, growing, and cultivating our work! Apply below to be considered in our next round of applicants.
