Diversity Advisory Committee Renewal Charter
Official Designation: Cultural Diversity Advisory
Committee
Scope and Objectives: The purpose of the National Council on Disability's (NCD) Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee is to provide advice and recommendations to NCD on issues affecting people with disabilities from culturally diverse backgrounds. Specifically, the committee will help identify issues, expand outreach, infuse participation, and elevate the voices of underserved and unserved segments of this nation's population that will help NCD develop federal policy that will address the needs and advance the civil and human rights of people from diverse cultures.
Duration: Continuing.
Reporting Relationship: The Cultural
Diversity Advisory Committee reports to the National Council on
Disability.
Support: National Council on Disability
will support the activities of the Cultural Diversity Advisory
Committee.
Duties: The Cultural Diversity
Advisory Committee will provide advice and recommendations only.
Costs: The estimated annual operating costs associated with supporting the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee's functions are estimated to be $46,000 per year including all direct and indirect expenses. It is estimated that a staff person will spend approximately 624 hours per year to support the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee.
Meetings: It is anticipated that
the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee will meet at least quarterly.
Organization: NCD will create any subcommittees that may be necessary to fulfill the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee's mission. In addition, NCD and the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee will establish such operating procedures as required to support the group, consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended.
Membership: The committee will consist of not more than 12 members, representing culturally diverse populations and a variety of disabling conditions from across the United States. While representative members may have expertise in a specific area, discipline, or subject matter, they are not selected solely on the basis of this expertise, but rather are selected to represent the point of view of a group or particular interest.
Date of Termination: Unless renewed by appropriate action prior to its expiration, the Cultural Diversity Advisory Committee will terminate two years from the date of this charter.
Renewed: January 12, 2007
