Call for Nominations: Inform USA State Advisory Committee

The State Advisory Committee (SAC), is an initiative aimed at elevating the work of Inform USA member organizations across the United States. In addition to providing support, guidance, and feedback to the Inform USA Board of Directors on critical issues, the SAC plays an integral role in the Inform USA Grant Program, assisting in selecting grant recipients.

We are seeking nominations for individuals to serve on the Committee from states that only have 1 or no representatives.

Criteria for Nominations:

• Nominees must be Platinum Members (through their employer) of good standing for at least one year before nomination.
• Nominees must be permanent residents of the state they wish to represent.
  SAC members should represent agencies with an interest in state or federal-level advocacy for Information and Referral (I&R).
• Each state may have up to three representatives, provided each works in a distinct field within I&R.(e.g, Military, 211, Aging, Disability, etc).
