The SILC invites interested Iowans, both with and without disabilities, from across the state, to apply to be considered for appointment to the SILC by the Governor.
The Iowa Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) is a Governor-appointed Council. The SILC recruits Iowans annually to apply to be considered for Governor appointment to the SILC.
The Council has set a PRIORITY to try and find young adults, who have a disability, ages 18-30, to apply to be a SILC Council Member so that we may begin developing young adult leadership in the Independent Living Movement. However, all interested individuals, with or without a disability, ages 18 and over, are encouraged to apply.
We encourage people to apply who have a PASSION for working on independent living issues, and who are willing to volunteer their time to attend and participate in four quarterly Council Meetings, as well as participate on at least one committee that meets via ZOOM either monthly or every other month.
