Looking for Six New Board Members, plus 11/03 Board Recruitment Fair


Lanterman Regional Center is recruiting for six potential board members, whose terms would begin July 2023 and end June 30, 2025. 

As the Center serves a very diverse community, our board must reflect this diversity, and we are looking for the following:

  • Hispanic/Latinx (4 members)
  • Asian (1 member)
  • Adult Self-Advocate (2 members)
  • Community (1 member)
  • An individual with legal expertise (1 member)

As there are only six positions, potential board members will in some cases meet more than one of the diversity criteria above.

We are hosting a board recruitment fair on Thursday, November 3, that will explain more about the role and responsibilities of board members. Those interested in serving on Lanterman's board of directors should attend and learn more.

See below for a list of frequently asked questions, and following is some additional reference information.
