Each affiliate is required to have a Community Advisory Team. The advisory team advises and supports the affiliate through decisions and projects (similar to a board).

Many affiliates strive to have meetings every other month or once a quarter with their advisory team.
There is no minimum or maximum amount of people required; however, we strongly suggest a minimum of four people that represent a variety of backgrounds from the community, such as:
- Volunteer
- Public Official
- Individual from the for-profit sector
- Individual from the nonprofit sector

Please provide a list of names and emails that will serve as your Community Advisory Team. If you do not have an Advisory Team yet, we will develop it as part of the affiliation process. (word doc upload- not required)
