Appointed for 3-year terms, the SB40 Board (dba Stone County Developmental Disability Board) is comprised of 9 members. We are required to have diverse representation on our board so that many different points of view can be heard. Some members have family with developmental disabilities, some come from a special education background, others are community members who have invested themselves in the success of this organization because they have a deep passion for the people we serve.
We are funded by a small portion (10 cents per $100 assessed value) of your property tax dollars that go toward services and supports for residents of Stone County who have developmental disabilities.
The board’s main job is to make sure the tax money collected for use is spent in the right way, according to State law and the needs of the Stone County community. We maintain close working relationships with many County agencies, like the County Commission and Health Department, working for the common good of Stone County residents.
Meetings are open to the public and held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6pm in our office in the Brooks Center 15767 State Highway 13, Reeds Spring 65737, Suite 2. If you have a comment or concern that you wish to see addressed, please contact LaDella Thomas at 417-272-0444 or [email protected].
Committee meetings are on the Thursday prior to the Board meeting and information can be found on our calendar here.
Liz Enochs, Board Chair, Operations Committee
I’m a wife, a mother, and an educator, and I have been a resident of Stone County since 1992. I graduated from Galena High School and currently reside in Galena. I have proudly worked for the Reeds Spring School District since 2012, serving in various roles, including assistant teacher in our Early Education Center, paraprofessional, bus driver, and special education teacher.
My experiences and personal growth within the district reflect my passion for advocating for and supporting our students with diverse abilities and their families. In my search for meaningful ways to support our district families outside of the school day, I learned about the SCDDB and became a member in 2022. I am thrilled and honored to now serve on the board, where I can contribute to a cause that resonates deeply with me. I chose to serve on the board with the understanding that the students and families I currently work with may one day benefit from the invaluable services the SCDDB provides to our community.
Shawn Mayr, Vice Chair, Operations Committee Member
I was born in Iowa and fortunate enough to have my family buy a resort and move to Table Rock Lake when I was 6 years old. I can’t imagine having grown up anywhere other than our beautiful lake area. After graduating from SMS, now Missouri State, in 1992 I was eager to return to Stone County where my wife Susan and I have raised a wonderful family. I was thrilled and proud as a Stone Countian to see the passage of the tax that enabled the establishment of this board and am happy to now serve as a member. Our summers are spent enjoying the lake, whether on the dock or out on the boat. We love traveling to warm weather areas in the fall, winter, and spring and mixing in St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs games as well.
Anne Coleman, Treasurer/Past Chair
I am a traveler through life. I practice being present in each moment to the best of my ability and can nearly always find plenty to be grateful for in my world. Stone County has been my home since 1977. Even though I love to travel and see new sights, when returning home I am awestruck with the beauty of our area and the goodness of our people.
Brittney Brosseau, Secretary, Immediate Past Chair
Growing up in Ozark, MO, Table Rock Lake was my home away from home every summer! When I attended College at Southwest Baptist University, I met my husband Kaleb, who was born and raised in Crane, Mo. About 11 years later, we decided to make Stone County our permanent residence and we built a house in September of 2019 in Crane. We now have two beautiful boys who keep up busy and are truly the joy of our lives. I am a Music Therapist, who has worked with persons with Developmental Disabilities for 8 years. My husband is the Part time Music Minister at First Baptist Church Crane, where I help him lead worship and also lead the Children’s choir on Wednesday nights. My husband also works full time at Kimberling City Plumbing in Branson West, which is his family owned business that has been a staple in this community for 60 years! God has truly blessed my life and now I just want to be a blessing to others! Truly excited about serving on this Board!
