Summary
The Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities Executive Committee approved up to $2,000 in financial support for council member Melissa Bart‑Plange to attend the July 2026 Hydrocephalus Conference in Indianapolis, citing the conference’s value for those impacted by hydrocephalus.
The Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities Executive Committee voted April 9 to authorize up to $2,000 in financial support for council member Melissa Bart‑Plange to attend the Hydrocephalus Conference in July 2026 in Indianapolis.
Catherine Nielsen, executive director of the council, described the Hydrocephalus Conference as an annual event for people affected by hydrocephalus to learn about care and supports; the committee discussed reimbursing registration and travel costs to enable member participation. Autumn Blattman moved to approve the funding, and Stacy Alaribe seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The funding was presented as a targeted travel support to help a council member attend an educational conference; the committee did not alter the proposed dollar amount during the meeting. The committee will proceed with the administrative steps to process the reimbursement or payment as provided under NGCDD procedures.
The Executive Committee did not receive public comment on this item during the meeting. The committee’s next regular Executive Committee meeting is scheduled for May 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom.
