Procedure to Ensure Advisory Council Members are Diverse

We are reviewing and updating our policies and procedures. Is anyone willing to share their procedure to "ensure that the Advisory Council members are geographically representative of the State and reflects the diversity of the State with respect to race, ethnicity, age, and types of disabilities, and users of types of services that an individual with a disability may receive, including home and community-based services (as defined in section 9817 (a)(2) of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (42 U.S.C. 1396d not)), vocational rehabilitation services (as defined in section 7 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 705)) and services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.)" (quoted from State Plan)

    We have a spreadsheet that includes columns for each of these markers. We can also use that information to help solicit for new council members, particularly by working with our partners to help with outreach to their regional or disability-specific communities.
