Community Engagement Group

Community Engagement Group Charge:

1. Educate Consumers

Educate/train consumers about the Planning Group’s local HIV services planning process and prepare them for and support them in increased involvement throughout the Planning Group process: committees, task forces, working groups, and other opportunities, as well as Planning Council membership.
Serve as mentors to newly involved consumers.

2. Increase consumer participation

Increase the level and diversity of consumer involvement, including from under-served and under-represented populations.
Represent the needs of all consumers, including those unable to participate in meetings.
Provide linkages to regional and population-specific consumer groups and ensure communication between those groups and the Community Engagement Group.
Identify and seek to overcome barriers to consumer participation.

3. Represent consumer needs throughout the Planning Group process

Provide consumer representation on Planning Group committees, task forces, etc. and ensure the flow of information from those groups to the Community Engagement Group.
