<h3>About YDAS</h3>
<p>Youth Disability Advocacy (YDAS) is funded by the Victorian Government. At YDAS, we place the human rights and interests of disabled young people* at the centre of our work. YDAS undertakes advocacy and community development with disabled young people. We make sure disabled young people can participate, speak up, make decisions and lead in a more fair and inclusive society. More information can be found on the <a href="https://www.ydas.org.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YDAS website.</a></p>
<p>*In this document YDAS uses identity first language (disabled young people), as per the advice of the YDAS Steering Committee, which is comprised of disabled young people. However, we recognise that language and identity are personal choices, and that some people may prefer to use other terms including person first language (young people with disability).</p>
<p>The inaugural YDAS Board of Governance is responsible for ensuring that YDAS is governed in a way that is compliant with the law and allows the organisation to achieve its mission. The Board also sets the strategic vision and direction of YDAS, and oversees effective operations and the incoming CEO (currently the Head of YDAS) who is responsible for the day-to-day management decisions. The Head of YDAS reports directly to the Board.</p>
<p>The Board is made up of a maximum of eleven YDAS members, four of whom must be aged 25 or younger when elected. At least 50% of the Board Members must identify as being a disabled person. Board Members are elected for two years.</p>
