HBEC Community Advisory Board
The HBEC Community Advisory Board (CAB) consists of persons who:
- Are interested in improving the health of Detroit's older adults impacted by health disparities
- Are willing to contribute to and support the research, outreach, and education efforts and activities of the HBEC
The CAB is responsible for attending quarterly meetings to contribute to planning the Lunch & Learn series and bi-annual HBE newsletter. They attend the Lunch & Learn, promote HBE programs throughout the community, and recruit for the Participant Resource Pool research registry. They also are responsible for reviewing and approving all research studies asking to use the PRP for recruitment.
