Advisory Committees & Volunteer Activities
Advisory Committees
We would like to express our thanks to the hundreds of people who applied to serve on the 14 RBHA advisory committees. We received more applications than slots available. We will keep all applications on file in case of future openings and will contact applicants as necessary to fill those openings. We encourage all interested service recipients, family members, advocates and representatives from PNO/CRN/QSP providers to continue to give us feedback by attending our quarterly "How Are We Doing?" Forums. We also encourage you to check our Events page often for information on upcoming meetings and events.
