Community Advisory Committee

The Harbor Regional Center Self Determination Program Community Advisory Committee meets quarterly to provide input and oversight for the future implementation of the SDP.
Agendas  for the SDP CAC will include review of legislation; updates on the work of Statewide Advisory Group including materials (video, training & implementation guidelines) as they are made available.

The next scheduled meetings of the Committee will take place on Wednesday, September 9, 2015, and Wednesday, December 2, 2015, at 6:00 pm. Meetings are open to the public.

The SDP must be approved for federal funding before it will be implemented. A similar program has been piloted at a few regional centers. Informational meetings will be scheduled for interested persons upon approval of the program.
