NOMINATIONS FOR BOARDING HOME ADVISORY BOARD
Dear Boarding Home Provider:
The boarding home licensing statute at Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 18.20.260, establishes a Boarding Home Advisory Board to provide Aging and Disabilities Services Administration with advisory opinions. The terms of all current members of the Advisory Board expire in August 2006. The purpose of this letter is to offer you the opportunity to nominate one individual to represent the boarding home industry on the Boarding Home Advisory Board.
Members of the board are appointed to serve a two-year term. They are expected to attend all advisory board meetings and to communicate with, and speak on behalf of, the group they represent. The board discusses broad issues of interest to the department and the industry, not individual cases or concerns.
Typically, meetings are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon in the Olympia area, and are held at least four times per year. The first two meetings of the new board will be held on September 7 and December 7, 2006. Additional meetings may be added.
If you would like to nominate yourself, or another individual to serve on the Boarding Home Advisory Board, please submit your nomination using the enclosed form by July 28, 2006. If you have questions, please contact Denny McKee at (360) 725-2590.
Thank you for your continued interest in the boarding home program.
Sincerely,
Joyce Pashley Stockwell, Director
Residential Care Service
