Heartland Independent Living Center elected new officers for their
Board of Directors.
The board consists of six members. Mark Hulsey was re-elected to fill
the position of President, Dee Ann Fuller re-elected to Vice President, Deborah
Moore elected to Secretary and the three remaining board members are Vera
Williams, Denny Huff and James Brinkmann.
Federal rules require that at least 51 percent of the employees of a
Center for Independent Living consist of individuals with disabilities. That same requirement applies to the Center’s
Board of Director’s. Five of the six current Heartland board members are
individuals with significant disabilities.
“Heartland is extremely fortunate to have the commitment and stability
our board has given to our organization. The organization’s accomplishments
over the past five years have been achieved thanks to their support and
encouragement,” said Executive Director Pat Chambers.
The Board of Directors meets once a month.
