The Association hosts an annual leadership conference for local committees in Texas. For contact information, call or write the Texas Governor's Committee. Local Close to 30 local volunteer committees conduct a wide range of community activities. Each committee uniquely reflects local need and character. Activities may include scholarship programs, parking monitoring programs, career days, health fairs, recreational opportunities like building a fishing pier, and more.
Many committees promote the appointment of people with disabilities to local boards and commissions.
Often work occurs in the areas of housing, transportation, employment, education, access, and transportation. Many committees also recognize employers, people with disabilities, and media professionals for efforts to employ and empower Texans with disabilities. Numerous local volunteer committees have hosted the employment awards, the media awards, and business meetings for the Governor's Committee. These efforts increase visibility for both the local committee and the Governor's Committee. Applying these figures to Texas, the Committee estimates 3.9 million Texans have some level of disability and 1.9 have a severe disability.
