The Regional Programs
Advisory Council consults on various aspects of planning and
implementation for the AHEC Program from a statewide perspective. The
Council is comprised of the Chair and Vice Chair of the advisory
councils of each of the seven AHECs and several partner members
representing statewide organizations that support and work with Regional
Programs to achieve our statewide mission. The Council has adopted
bylaws and elects a Chair and Vice Chair from the membership to lead the
organization. An internal advisory council offers valuable input from
various departments within the institution. We are deeply indebted to
these capable advisors.
