Independent Advisory Committee’s Expectation

Thank you for your commitment. We understand this is a volunteer committee but there are a few things that are expected of committee members, current and new.  

If we have 12 monthly meetings (not including sub-committee meetings or gatherings) you need to be present 50% or more. 

  • If you can’t attend, you need to reply and let the co-chair (Rachel Aponte, Susan Justiniano, Deonté Griffin-Quick, or Vince Hall) 

Do your best to stay connected 

  • Read materials (sent in emails & available in the Google Drive) 
  • Respond when necessary to emails. 
  • If you can’t attend, please review the notes & watch the recording if available. 

Active participation is required during meetings and sub-committee  

  • Be engaged 
  • Be punctual 
  • Come prepared  
  • Speak clearly 
  • Give others the opportunity to speak 
  • Follow the agenda  
  • Ask clarifying questions 
  • Be attentive to your body language 

These are the Mission, Vision, and Values of our organization that are guiding our work. As a committee member, we expect you to know and understand them and allow them to guide you in your work.
