RE: Nominations for the Statewide Council for Vocational Rehabilitation

The Department is seeking nominations for the Statewide Council for Vocational Rehabilitation (SCVR). The 1973 Rehabilitation Act, as amended, mandates that individuals with disabilities have a majority of representation on the Council. Representation of business and industry, CAP, Statewide Independent Living Council and others are also required.

We have a great group of individuals on the Council and they are working diligently to give all of us sound advice and direction. We are particularly in need of members from pretty much any and all counties in Districts 10, 11, 12. We have a representative from Floyd County but he is on by virtue of serving on the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) and represents the SILC at meetings. There are also other areas of the State that appear to need representation. But, please, recommend good candidates from any county. We are just anxious to hear from you. Call Veeta Ervin or email her at Veetam.Erwin@mail.state.ky.us if you need additional information. We do have a state map available with existing Council Members’ home areas indicated.

If you know of any individual who you think would be suitable, please send the following information to Veeta via e-mail, snail mail or FAX by April 1, 2001.
