Board of Directors

Disability Network Mid-Michigan (DNMM) is actively seeking board members to support our mission of promoting and encouraging independence for all people with disabilities. DNMM is a federally-funded Center for Independent Living. As such, at least 51% of our board and staff must be people with disabilities.

Board members from within our 12-county service area are needed who represent diverse cultures and backgrounds and can contribute needed skills for a functional non-profit board.
