Advisory Council for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing

 

Pennsylvania's Advisory Council for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing (ACDHH) was established as a result of  Act 1997-37, which required the establishment of the Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the Advisory Council. The Council is mandated to provide recommendations to public and private agencies, advocate for services and act as a bureau of information. 

The Council functions in accordance with its bylaws and the Sunshine Act

It is comprised of  17 members. The members are not paid for their council work; however, they are reimbursed for hotel, travel (mileage, parking, and tolls), and subsistence, in accordance with the Commonwealth's reimbursement policy. They travel to Harrisburg for meetings and do subcommittee work between meetings.
