Steering Committee

The Washtenaw Health Initiative Steering Committee provides strategic oversight and sets program priorities. The committee is comprised of 22 members, both organizational members and community members.

Organizational members

Organizational members represent specific organizations that are essential to the mission of the Washtenaw Health Initiative. Each organization designates its own Steering Committee representative who serves until the organization selects a new representative.

Community members

Community members represent various sectors–education, business, philanthropy, etc.–that are vitally important to the mission of the Washtenaw Health Initiative. These members serve rotating, three-year terms, renewable up to three times. The Steering Committee consults with the Washtenaw Health Initiative Stakeholders Group to ensure that community members are selected through a collaborative process.

Current Steering Committee Members

Workgroup co-chairs are considered ex-officio, non-voting members of the steering committee. In addition to guiding their respective workgroup, co-chairs inform and consult the steering committee on content-specific developments in their areas of expertise.
