Community Advisory Council (CAC):
Elevating the Community Voice
We know that centering our work around the community voice is the best way to serve our members and improve our community in ways that are meaningful and impactful.
YCCO's Community Advisory Council (CAC) is a group of community members with current or past experience navigating OHP. Members of this group share their lived experience and expertise with our Board of Directors to help guide our policies, programs, and operations.
Get Involved: We need you!
The Community Advisory Council meets monthly to discuss upcoming programing, initiatives, and elements of the health plan that directly impact OHP YCCO Members. The CAC are dedicated individuals from diverse backgrounds, and each member serves as a vital advocate for the community. A CAC Member's input directly shapes our health plan and ensures it aligns with the needs of our community.
The CAC is responsible for making funding recommendations to the YCCO Board of Directors, and developing and overseeing the Community Health Improvement Plan, or CHIP.
We invite community members just like you to join the CAC! We value your opinions, lived experience, and engagement!
The CAC meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5pm – 7pm.
Dinner, childcare, language interpretation, and virtual meeting options are provided.
