The Developmental Disabilities Council of Contra Costa County is writing to submit the

Contra Cost County Developmental Disabilities Council's Board of Director's meeting.
Ms. Spaulding is a consumer with a developmental disability who continues to serve on the
Contra Costa County Developmental Disabilities Council Board of Directors. In addition, she
has served as chairperson of the People's First Chapter of Contra Costa County, a self-advocacy,
consumer driven group. Ms. Spaulding lives independently in the community with the assistance

adults with severe physical disabilities. She continues to be an excellent spokesperson for our
field and the issues that our constituency lives with on a day-to-day basis.
Area Board 5 will provide the necessary supports (i.e. assistance with transportation) to allow
Ms. Spaulding to actively serve on its Board of Directors.
If you have any questions regarding any of the above, please feel free to contact me at (510) 374-
