Boards, Committees, and Councils: Seeking Members

Team meeting around a conference room table

Thank you for your interest in public service. The following boards, committees, and councils are​ seeking people to apply to be members. Members of advisory bodies help drive change and find solutions to the problems facing Wisconsin's residents.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) strives to represent the full diversity of the state. We encourage Wisconsinites from all geographic locations; racial and ethnic identities; ages; nationalities; social and economic status; sexual orientations; gender identities or expressions; religious, political, and ideological perspectives; veteran status; and physical and mental abilities to apply for membership. Council representation that reflects our state population helps DHS better consider differing needs and backgrounds when making policy.

Note: Openings below are subject to change on a monthly basis.

The Wisconsin Council on Mental Health (WCMH) welcomes applications to serve on the Council and is currently seeking applications from individuals with lived experience, this includes adult consumers of mental health services, family members of adult consumers, and parents of minor children with emotional disturbance. While the Council reviews all applicants, all appointments to the Council are made by the Governor.

Members with lived experience work alongside council members across a spectrum of experiences from providers to consumers of mental health supports and mental health advocates, all with the mission to educate one another and unite across the state of Wisconsin to improve the lives of those with mental illness.

Council members are appointed for three-year terms. WCMH meetings are held six times a year (currently hybrid via Zoom with an option to attend in-person) and all council members are required to actively participate in at least one committees of the council.
