Committee for Persons with Disabilities (CFPD)

The CFPD is a nine-member volunteer group that serves as an advisory council to Disability Services and the Township of Schaumburg Board of Trustees.  The Committee seeks to

• Promote and advocate for an inclusive and optimal quality of life for residents with disabilities.
• Support services and programs available to persons with disabilities.
• Assist in the development goals, objectives, and policies for Disability Services.
• Provide outreach to community about services and opportunities.
• Make recommendations for annual grant funding to agencies who serve persons with disabilities and their care partners.

 

CFPD currently has three membership vacancies.  Applicants must reside in Schaumburg Township, pass a background check, and provide a resume.  Committee members should be a person with a disability, a primary caregiver or guardian of a person with a disability, or a person with advance skill, knowledge, or experience serving people with disabilities.  The Township Board approves members to the Committee.  The CFPD accepts applications year-round.
