Its mission is to provide program support, guidance, advocacy, feedback and act as a liaison to the department, functions which are guided by the department’s own mission statement. Most members are appointed by the Governor to serve three-year terms. The Senate President and Speaker of the House each appoint one member from the legislative body.
The Advisory Council’s 2022 meeting schedule is tentatively set for: Friday, August 12, 2022 and Tuesday, November 15, 2022 from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon. For more information, please contact Clint Hanes at clint.hanes1@wyo.gov.
