Purpose of the Advisory Committee
The mission of the Boling Center is to promote, support, and enhance
the independence, productivity, integration, and inclusion of
individuals with disabilities and their families in the community.
The Consumer Advisory Board (CAB) is the primary consumer advising
body for Boling Center faculty and staff. The purpose of the CAB is to
review, advise, and make recommendations that will assist the
University Center on Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)
to maintain and develop initiatives that reflect the UCEDD mission.
The CAB provides a forum for individuals with disabilities, their
families, and provider representatives to voice interests, views, and
issues related to disability laws and policies. The UCEDD faculty and
staff value consumer input, guidance, and feedback regarding training,
research, technical assistance, and direct services.
The Consumer Advisory Board meets on a quarterly basis. Regular
meetings are held in September, November or December, March, and
June. Boling Center staff has made arrangements for you to
participate in these meetings through video conferencing and/or
telephone. You will have the opportunity to participate in your
community.
The Boling Center faculty and staff wish to thank you for your
participation.
