In addition, announcements will be sent to special interest groups representing minorities and the disabled.
All announcements and advertisements will state: "All minorities and disabled persons are encouraged to apply."
The Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services will interview applicants at an alternative site if the Board office is not accessible to the applicant due to a disability.
Any applicant for a Board position who feels he/she has been denied a position unjustly may file a complaint with the Executive Director of the Board. The Executive Director shall issue a written decision determining the validity of the complaint no later than thirty (30) days after its filing. The applicant will also be informed that if the issue remains unresolved to his/her satisfaction, he/she may lodge a complaint with the appointing authority for the Board opening such as the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) or the Commissioners of the county in which the vacancy existed.
