Vacancies In The Loudoun County Community Services Board (CSB)
The Loudoun County Community Services Board (CSB) is anticipating at least two vacancies to fill beginning July 1, 2010. Each new appointee would be eligible to serve up to three three-year terms.
The Loudoun County CSB is appointed by and accountable to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors to set policy for, and to administer the provision of, community-based services for people experiencing mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and substance use disorders. That responsibility includes oversight of the Loudoun County Department of Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Developmental Services.
CSB members are drawn from the greater Loudoun community, and may represent a variety of backgrounds and interests, personal, professional or civic, that may give them insight into the issues that concern the CSB.
By law, one third of the members of a Community Services Board must be self-identified as active consumers of a mental health, substance abuse, or developmental service (though not necessarily one provided directly by the CSB) or be the family member of someone actively receiving a service. No member of a CSB may be anyone who is employed by a CSB or by any agency that receives funding from a CSB.
CSB members are responsible for attending monthly CSB meetings, and each CSB member is expected to serve on one or more committees and to attend the meetings of the groups on which they serve.
The Community Services Board will be recruiting and interviewing for prospective members beginning in February 2010 and will recommend qualified applicants to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors will make the final determination of who is appointed.
Interested applicants should visit the CSB page of the county’s website, www.loudoun.gov/csb and click on the link under “Members” for an application and a summary of CSB roles and responsibilities.
