Community Advisory Council

The Community Advisory Council (CAC) was formed in 2014 to offer diverse perspectives of the problems, needs, and solutions impacting the health inequities experienced in the Black community. The CAC is a diverse group of entrepreneurs, barbers, stylists, health care providers (social work, nursing), educators, researchers, and clinicians. The CAC meets quarterly and informs the research process from conception through to dissemination.
