Community Voice & Equity Committee

We are excited to present the Community Voice & Equity Committee! This new committee amplifies regional advocacy power by bringing community members and organizations together to find common policy priorities and act as a team.

The Community Voice & Equity Committee is a SWACH Board of Trustees committee that aims to:

  1. Include community voice in SWACH’s board decision-making process,

  2. Identify and address community needs at the system level through policy and advocacy,

  3. Shift power towards more equitable decision-making in funding.

The Community Voice & Equity Committee will have no more than two Board of Trustees members, all other members will be community members who are representative of the diversity within our service area.

How Can I Participate?
