What is CAB?
In 2018, Colorado’s MCH program identified that a formal infrastructure for community inclusion and engagement would strengthen MCH priority implementation. As a result, the Community Advisory Board was developed and launched in October 2019. Primarily funded by MCH, Colorado’s Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program has also contributed funding. The board’s membership is reflective of the communities that are most impacted by MCH priority work and is composed of dynamic individuals who have a wide range of expertise, including lived and professional experience. Processes for facilitation include simultaneous interpretation in both Spanish and American Sign Languages.
- CAB meetings are primarily helf virtuallly with some options for in-person meetings.
- Members meet one Saturday per month from September to May.
- All members are given a stipend of $30 an hour and receive reimbursement for travel to meetings.
