The Board of El Paso County Commissioners is seeking four volunteers to serve as members on the El Paso County Citizen Review Panel, or CRP. Applications are due by Oct. 29.

The CRP serves as an extension and continuation of the complaint process established through the County Department of Human Services Quality Assurance Program. It also provides a forum for the discussion of unresolved consumer concerns regarding the conduct of County Department of Human Services employees involved in Dependency and Neglect (Child Welfare) cases.

The members of the CRP are appointed by the BOCC, and must have demonstrable personal or professional knowledge and experience with children, and not be employees or agents of the State of Colorado or the county. At least one member of the CRP shall be the parent of a minor child at the time of his or her appointment to serve on the panel.

The CRP meets three times annually at 3:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of April, August and December, as well as on an as-needed basis, at the Room No. 3032 of the Department of Human Services. During COVID-19, the meetings are being held virtually.

The volunteer application can be found at elpasoco.com and accessed by clicking on the “Volunteer Boards” link.

Applicants are asked to reference the board and position they wish to represent and include a mailing address and daytime phone number. Send completed applications and letters of interest and/or resumes to: Board of County Commissioners, Attn: Ingrid Mobley, 200 S. Cascade Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903, or ingridmobley@elpasoco.com.

Applications can also be faxed to 719-520-6397 or emailed to volunteer@elpasoco.com.
