COUNCIL NEWS

Budget Initiative begins
The NJ Council on Developmental Disabilities will be creating literature, reaching out to constituents from our database and working with other groups to get the word out that this year's budget should support initiatives consistent with the Council's recommendation of increased supports and services that recognize and acknowledge individual and family choice through increased self-directed options and supports to families.

Interested in Becoming a Council Member?
The Council is in need of more self-advocate members. Persons interested in becoming a Council member should contact Andrea Orbe-Martinez in the Governor's Office of Appointments, 609.777.0251, and tell her of your interest.
