About the Governor’s Committee
The California Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (Governor's Committee) is responsible for providing leadership to increase the number of people with disabilities in the California workforce. The Governor's Committee is also responsible for implementing California's Workforce Inclusion Act, Assembly Bill 925, which names and empowers the Governor's Committee to undertake activities to ensure improved employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The Governor's Committee provides a forum through which key state departments, boards, and councils, local service providers, business leaders and the disability community can collaborate to develop a comprehensive strategy (DOC) to that will result in an increased rate of employment for people with disabilities.
The Governor's Committee consists of appointed and mandated public and private members and receives staff support from the Employment Development Department (in the Labor and Workforce Development Agency). It is mandated to meet quarterly, in conjunction with the California Health Incentives Improvement Project (CHIIP). The work of the Governor's Committee is conducted through its four subcommittees listed below.
