Area Steering Committee

The purpose of the Steering Committee is to involve self-advocates, family members and other representatives in the efforts of quality improvement initiatives. The local committee is not intended to be involved in day to day oversight and management but will be involved in all stages of problem analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation activities related to quality management.

The primary focus of the steering committee is to ensure continuous improvement of the service system operational practices. The steering committee will coordinate with and compliment the statewide Interagency Quality Council (IQC) in quality improvement initiatives.
