In 2017,  SG/PRC held several Community Meetings during February and March. 

The purpose of these meetings was to accomplish the following:

1. Focus on three variables: (a) Total Annual Authorized Services and Expenditures by Ethnicity or Race; (b) Total Annual Authorized Services and Expenditures and by Language; and (c) Clients with No Purchase of Services by Ethnicity or Race or by Language.
2. Better understand the possible underlying reasons for POS disparity in authorizations and utilization (expenditures); and
3. Identify steps that San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center can take to better meet the needs of clients and their families that will result in more equity in the authorization and utilization of purchased services and less disparity.
