Learn about the Washington SRCB: the purpose of the Council, quarterly public meetings, joining the council, and annual reports.

The Washington State Rehabilitation Council for the Blind (SRCB) is an advisory group of volunteers, appointed by the Washington State Governor, who provide counsel and guidance to DSB. The committee reviews, evaluates, and recommends plans, policies, and activities to ensure that blind or visually impaired people in our state receive the most effective and efficient rehabilitation services possible.

The SRCB:

  • Provides direction to the DSB's director and advises and reports to Washington State Governor.
  • Make recommendations to the State Legislature about services that impact the lives of blind people
  • Work closely with other state councils, agencies and organizations to enhance the services, opportunities, and rights for people in Washington who are Blind, Deaf-Blind or Low Vision.
