Additionally, the Governor appointed Dana Dodgen and Celina Perez to the committee for terms set to expire on February 1, 2031. The committee advises HHSC on the administration, supervision, and monitoring of the statewide comprehensive system of early intervention services that will ensure that all infants and toddlers in this state who are below the age of three and have developmental needs or are at risk of developmental delay receive services that are provided in partnership with their families and in the context of their local community.
School for the Blind and Visually Impaired – Governor Abbott appointed Rusty Peterson to the Governing Board of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI) for a term set to expire on January 31, 2027.
