The California Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities is seeking nominations for committee members. This committee is mandated in the California's Workforce Inclusion Act, Assembly Bill 925 as amended in Assembly Bill 119 of 2011, to consult with and advise the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the California Health and Human Services Agency on all issues related to full inclusion in the workforce of persons with disabilities.

Membership includes: representation from individuals with disabilities; business representatives with experience in employing persons with disabilities; representation from the California Health Incentive Improvement Project, from the California Workforce Investment Board, from community based one-stop centers to be nominated by the California Workforce Investment Board, and state departments with disability related programs. Members serve on a voluntary basis and will be compensated for necessary travel expenses.

The Department of Rehabilitation is currently accepting applications, and we invite you to nominate persons who would be interested in serving. Self-nominations will also be accepted. Individuals nominating themselves should provide a letter of support.

This selection process is competitive, nominations will not be considered without a completed copy of the application and if needed, a letter of support. Resumes may also be included with the application, but are not required. Appointment notifications shall be made at the discretion of the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency.
