Community Resource Initiative Board and Representatives
Community Resource Initiative’s Board and Committee members play a critical role in the short-term and long-term success that will allow our mission to be achieved. Our boards and committees are key stakeholders who play a very important role in both actively raising awareness and funding for the agency.
Community Resource Initiative is committed to involving community members in all aspects of our operations. One way we facilitate this involvement is through the work of our Community Advisory Board (CAB), a group of dedicated individuals who serve as our community representatives.
The goals of the CAB are to:
- Provide an open forum to discuss community concerns and needs.
- Work with staff to review new study protocols and provide feedback on research efforts.
- Ensure Community Resource Initiative works with all populations and assists in expanding access to the best available treatments and promote enrollment in clinical research studies.
- Maximize the dissemination of culturally and linguistically appropriate information about treatment options to consumers and providers in all communities.
- Develop, foster, and facilitate ongoing dialogue with all communities affected by HIV.
