After decades of commitment to the disability community in Mississippi, Polly Tribble was named Executive Director of DRMS in 2017. Prior to her appointment as Executive Director, Mrs. Tribble served DRMS in various capacities —including Senior Advocate and Intake Unit Supervisor — for over 20 years. Polly leads DRMS with compassion and a vision to always encourage and support people with disabilities to live meaningful lives in their communities.

DRMS is governed by a Board of Directors — many of whom have a disability or a family member with a disability. Our Board members have diverse experience and represent different regions of the state, but all share a commitment to protecting the rights of Mississippians with disabilities. 

The DRMS Board holds quarterly meetings and the public is invited to provide comments. Some meetings are virtual and others are in person at rotating locations. To confirm upcoming meetings dates/locations or request to submit comments during a meeting, reach out to DRMS at info@drms.ms or by calling 601-968-0600. 

The tentative dates for our 2026/2027 meetings are:

November 10, 2026
