Texas SILC is seeking new members!

The Texas State Independent Living Council (SILC) is a private nonprofit organization tasked with developing the State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) along with its Independent Living Network consisting of 27 Centers for Independent Living, which provide direct services to Texans with disabilities.  The SPIL is a three-year strategic plan that sets the goals and framework for Independent Living Services in Texas. Texas SILC is committed to supporting the Texas Independent Living Network and those efforts are led by a Governor-appointed Council, which consists of Texans with disabilities, advocates, and representatives.

The appointment is a three-year term that is eligible for reappointment for a second term.  The Council meets no less than four times a year in different locations across Texas in partnering Center for Independent Living service areas.  Since the council serves Texans with disabilities, people with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.

To apply, please complete the application using the link below. Applications are due by May 28, 2021. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the application, please contact Craig Davis at 512-371-7353.
