Participant Council

Applied Self-Direction's Participant Council includes participants and family members from a range of self-direction programs across the country. We strive to ensure this group represents a wide array of approaches to self-direction nationwide.

We elevate the perspectives raised by our Participant Council members across our work with states, financial management services (FMS) entities, managed care organizations (MCOs), federal agencies, elected officials, and other stakeholders. No one understands how self-direction operates in day-to-day life better than the people who rely on these programs to maintain their independence at home. The guidance and recommendations provided by the Participant Council help influence our work at Applied Self-Direction and the design and implementation of self-direction on a national scale.
