Community Advisory Council

Purpose

The Community Advisory Council (CAC) is the primary consumer advising and guiding body for Boling Center faculty. The purpose of the CAC is to review, advise and make recommendations that will assist the UCEDD to maintain and develop initiatives that reflect the UCEDD mission. The CAC provides a forum for individuals with disabilities, their families and provider representatives to voice interests, views, and issues related to disability laws and reforms. The UCEDD faculty values consumer input, guidance and feedback regarding training, research, technical assistance and direct services.

How to Get Involved

To become a member of the CAC contact Laurel Ryan, Family Faculty Coordinator, lryan2@utmem.edu or 901-448-6511.
