Region Three Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) Advisory Council
The Region Three Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) Advisory Council represents six counties – Gwinnett, Newton, Rockdale, DeKalb, Fulton and Clayton Counties. Membership to the advisory council, to be appointed by the Board of Commissioners, is one per 50,000 population or increment thereof. According to the U.S. 2010 Census, the following counties reflect the composition of Region Three DBHDD Advisory Council - Gwinnett (16 members), Newton (1 member), Rockdale (1 member), DeKalb (13 members), Fulton (18 members), and Clayton (5 members).
- Members serve three-year terms
- Council members may serve no more than two consecutive three-year terms. However, to maintain continuity on the Council, the initial terms of the initial Council shall be staggered to split the Council into one, two and three year terms
- Any Council member serving an initial term of less than three years is authorized to serve two additional consecutive full three year terms. Board of Commissioners shall appoint members with recommendations from the Region Three DBHDD Advisory Council
- Members are not compensated, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred with the performance of their duties
Members should be made up from the community from among consumers of disability services, family members of such consumers, advocates for disability services, local leaders or business persons with an interest in mental health, additive diseases and developmental disabilities. If the School Superintendent, a Board of Health member, Board of Education member or any elected or appointed official qualifies as one of the above, that person may be appointed by the Board unless they serve on the Community Service Board or are prohibited from serving under Chapter 10 of Title 45 of the Code of Georgia.
