2004

On January 6, 2004, Governor Warner issued Executive Order 61 (Microsoft Word), The Olmstead Initiative, establishing a stakeholder Oversight Advisory Committee, a state agency Implementation Team, and a Director of Community Integration for People with Disabilities. He directed four secretariats and 18 state agencies to cost out recommendations in the final Task Force Report and take implementation steps. He created a 19 member Committee that advises the Implementation Team and oversees its efforts to implement the recommendations in the Report. This Committee is composed entirely of people with disabilities, family members of people with disabilities, advocates and providers. A Director of Community Integration for People with Disabilities chairs the Implementation Team and provides staff support to the Oversight Advisory Committee.
