Good morning,
As we continue our work on the Supported Decision Making paper, I thought this may be of interest. The State of Minnesota is seeking individuals from the state to be members of a board: Legislative Task Force on Guardianship.<https://commissionsandappointments.sos.state.mn.us/Agency/Details/372> This work is supported by the MN Council on Disability – I work for a different department, so I cannot provide further details. However, if a member of COGA is looking for a contact, I am happy to help.
Under Entity Powers and Duties, Activity Summary:
* “expanding supported decision-making alternatives to guardianships and conservatorships;”
* “The first meeting of the task force must be convened by the chair no later than September 1, 2025”
Direct appointments which may be of interest:
