The full Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council meets four times a year, but a collection of smaller committees also support Council-funded projects and strategies. Members from five committees vote on and present proposals to the larger Council: the Executive Committee, Public Policy Committee, Grants Committee, and Supporting Employment First Ad-hoc Committee.
