CDVA Disability Advisory Committee (D.A.C.)
Disability Advisory Committees are a requirement for all State Agencies as per Government Code Section
19795(b). The committee acts in an advisory capacity to the Secretary/Undersecretary on matters relating
to employees with disabilities.
Some of those issues include, but are not limited to: 1) ensuring that the Department is in compliance
with all State and Federal laws pertaining to disabled rights in the workplace (the Federal Americans
with Disabilities Act [ADA] and the State Fair Employment and Housing Act [FEHA]), 2) creating
recruitment strategies to increase our disabled workforce, 3) providing training for all staff on
disability awareness, 4) ensuring equal employment opportunity for disabled employees/applicants in all
aspects of the work arena.
