Community Advisory Council (CAC)

The Center has a formal organization, the CAC, to ensure that communities are involved in the Center's activities. The CAC is composed of 16 members who are selected based upon their experience, involvement and commitment to health issues among New Mexico's citizenry, health promotion and disease prevention. CAC membership thus includes representatives from tribal organizations, schools, state and federal health organizations, community members, university faculty and staff, and others.
