Referral Update:

On June 5, 2014, Supervisor John Gioia convened a meeting to discuss the possibility of the County developing a program specifically designed to hire individuals with developmental disabilities into the County workforce. The meeting focused on a presentation and discussion that was led by Mary Welch, County of Alameda Interim Director Human Resources Services and Joany Callahan, Sheriff's Office Personnel Chief. They provided information about the Step Up program that Alameda County had implemented which provided outreach and recruitment strategies to the developmentally disabled. Contra Costa County was interested in exploring the possibility of creating a similar program.
