GCDD

GCDD is a federally funded independent state agency that promotes and creates opportunities to enable persons with developmental disabilities (DD) to live, work, play and worship as an integral part of society. We accomplish this through three primary areas of focus: public policy, advocacy and program funding and implementation... GCDD is governed by a 28-member board, known as "The Council." At least 60% of our members are individuals with developmental disabilities and/or family members, who are appointed by the Governor. Other members include policymakers who represent various agencies and organizations having responsibilities in serving and supporting people with DD... GCDD provides an annual report summarizing the Council's activities accomplished during each federal fiscal year. The report includes highlights of projects funded by GCDD grants and updates on other activities of GCDD.
