Frequently Asked Questions
No. Individuals are welcome to join the Coalition!
No. We understand that sometimes things come up. We do ask Coalition Members to make every effort to make the quarterly meetings. If you commit to join a working group or the Leadership Council, we ask that you uphold that commitment or let the team know if your availability changes.
Yes! Working Groups are a great way to make an impact using your own skills and interests! Some Working Groups may be short-term while others may be more ongoing.
​
The Leadership Council is like a Board of Directors and tends to the overall operations of the Coalition.
You may discontinue or change your participation at any time. We encourage you to come to a Coalition meeting to try it out if you think you may be interested!
