In addition to the involvement of DMH/DD/SAS, the group had support from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities (NCCDD), and the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS).

Focused areas of discussion included: Entrance into the system, participant protections, waiting lists, self-direction, person-centered planning, assessments, support coordination, services, payment structures, quality, system transformation, and qualified providers.
