Board Members

The Hays County Child Protective Board consists of volunteer members who work tirelessly to link the citizens of Hays County, the Commissioner's Court, and Child Protective Services. Keeping this network active allows enhanced services to children and families and ensures the continued welfare of all children.  The all-volunteer Board members must be residents of Hays County.  

Board member nominations typically come from the Board or individual County Commissioners.  Potential Board members must submit a letter of interest and resume to the Board.  Nominations for membership are reviewed by the Board and submitted to the Commissioners Court for final approval.  Nominated Board members undergo State administered background checks and sign and submit a letter of confidentiality to DFPS before final approval.
