The IVRS-SRC Partnership

IVRS staff and SRC members share the common goal of "empowering individuals with disabilities to maximize employment, economic self-sufficiency, independence, inclusion and integration into society." Authorized under the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, State Rehabilitation Councils provide individuals with disabilities and representatives from the community with a partnership role in the state's rehabilitation program.

Appointments: Members are appointed by the Governor to the Council each July 1 to serve three-year terms (or fill the remaining term of a vacant position).

Time Commitment: The council meets from approximately 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. four times a year - once each quarter.

  • Annually between January and March, the SRC hosts a legislative reception from 7 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at the State Capitol in Des Moines.
  • Interested persons should have a willingness to learn about IVRS programs and policies; this may at times involve some in-between-meetings or reading of materials provided. 

COSTS: Although members are volunteers, funds are available to reimburse members for expenses such as travel, lodging or meals, and personal attendant services. A working lunch is provided the day of the meeting to effectively utilize all members' time. Reimbursements for expenses are in accordance with state fiscal policies.
