 Governor's
Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities
Mission
The Governor's Committee on Employment of People with
Disabilities has a very simple mission:
To promote the employment of people with
disabilities.
The vision of this Committee is to facilitate partnerships with
commitment to full, high quality employment of people with
disabilities.
History
The Governor's Committee was established as an agency of state
government with the passing of House Bill 996 on May 27, 1957, by
the 26th Oklahoma Legislature. It made provisions for the Governor
to appoint 75 citizens to serve on the Committee without
compensation for terms of two, four and six years. All areas of the
state are served by appointees who represent a multitude of
backgrounds from both the profit and non-profit sectors, labor,
business, industry, medicine, law, education, religion, veteran
affairs, rehabilitation, civic affairs and the media. The expertise
and concern of each of these respective members converge to serve
the Committee's common purpose: to promote the rehabilitation and
employment of workers with disabilities in the State of Oklahoma.
