Human Services Board

Duties and Responsibilities

The Human Services Board is an eleven member body appointed by the County Executive, consisting of citizen and elected representation. The board and its committees advise the Health & Human Needs Committee of the County Board on major issues and with respect to planning, budget, policy, and program evaluation matters. The Human Services Board, along with the Health & Human Needs committee, designates a long-range planning and strategic policy process that incorporates mechanisms to assure the broadest and most effective consumer and citizen involvement in determining priorities, policies, and effective service. In addition to broad statutory policy-making, the board advises the County Executive, composes recommendations on program policy, and advises the Department of Human Services and County Executive on annual budget appropriations.
