Board of Directors

The Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities is made up of 7 volunteer members serving 4-year terms up to a maximum of 12 consecutive years of service.

2 of the Board members are appointed by the probate judge. The Lucas County Board of Commissioners appoints the other 5 members.

According to the Ohio Revised Code, if the appointing authority is a board of county commissioners, at least two of the appointed individuals must be eligible for services provided by the county board or be immediate family members of such individuals. The board of county commissioners shall, whenever possible, ensure that one of those 2 members is an individual eligible for adult services or an immediate family member of an individual eligible for adult services; the other is an immediate family member of an individual eligible for early intervention services or services for preschool or school-age children.

If the appointing authority is the probate judge, at least one of the appointments is an immediate family member of an individual eligible for residential services or supported living.
