Community Advisory Boards (CABs)

Community Advisory Boards (CABs) are groups of local residents and stakeholders who provide input and guidance to organizations or researchers about community needs, concerns, and priorities. They serve as a bridge between the organization and the community, ensuring that projects, policies, or research are relevant, respectful, and beneficial. CABs promote transparency, trust, and collaboration, helping organizations make informed decisions that align with community values. Their role is to listen, advise, and advocate, ensuring that community voices are heard and considered throughout the process.
