TDLR Seeks Volunteers to Serve on Three Advisory Boards and Committees

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation seeks volunteers to serve on three of its advisory boards and committees. TDLR needs Texans who care about their communities to participate on their advisory boards and committees. Thanks to a change in state law, most advisory board meetings are held online, so members no longer have to travel to Austin to meet.

TDLR needs people with disabilities to serve on three of its 32 advisory boards. These members will provide a unique perspective to the boards by representing people directly affected by the industry in question. Most terms on the boards and committees last for six years, although some terms may be shorter because a seat has been vacated by a member who was unable to complete their term.

Advisory board members are appointed by the chairman of the Texas Commission on Licensing and Regulation. There is no financial compensation for membership.?

The following boards and committees currently have vacancies:

Architectural Barriers Advisory Committee, 3-year term

  • Consumer with Disabilities

Elevator Advisory Board, 3-year term

  • Public Member/Disabled

Orthotists and Prosthetists Advisory Board, 6-Year term:

  • Public Member who uses Orthosis

See this page (https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/media/vacancies.htm) for details on specific membership requirements and how to apply.
