Join one of 3 Arc Regional Quality Councils to help examine and improve services for people with disabilities. The 3 Regional Quality Councils are located in southeast Minnesota (Olmsted, Wabasha and Houston counties), the Twin Cities (Dakota, Hennepin and Scott counties) and West Central areas (Clay, Grant , Otter Tail, Polk, and Pope counties).
Individuals on the council include:
- people with disabilities, their families and allies
- people that work with people with disabilities, such as, case managers, social workers and providers of day programs, residential, and employment services
- people from different cultures and backgrounds
- people from the community that are interested in helping
Members of the Regional Quality Councils:
- research the quality of services for people with disabilities in our area.
- use information from research and interviews with people with disabilities to learn about what services and changes are needed to improve quality of life
- work together to come up with ideas on how to improve or change services based on what we learn.
- will examine what is working well for people with disabilities
- teach others about best practices
The councils meet monthly. They plan and discuss what the councils are currently doing and what they need to do next. The councils also have smaller work groups to work on projects. Total time commitment is 2-5 hours per month. Let us know which council you are interested in connecting with. We will help you get involved!
