Advisory Council
The Advisory Council (AC) consists of a diverse array of stakeholders from across the region. AC members provide strong communications links between SIPMC and stakeholder groups as well as among various stakeholder groups. The AC is an important avenue for promoting two-way communications. The Advisory Council meets twice each year to review Center progress, suggest priorities and otherwise advises Center staff and the Steering Committee, which sets policy.
Next meeting: September 2018
