Community Advisory Board
The College of Nursing established the Community Advisory Board (CAB) in 2003 with
the mission 鈥�to promote mutual understanding and cooperation in working toward improved health
for community members.鈥� The board has a special focus on health disparities and advises university-wide
researchers on matters of interest to the broader community.
Recruitment of CAB members emphasizes diverse ethnic and economic perspectives. The
CAB is comprised of volunteer members who live and work in the Central Savannah River
Area. They are community lay people, leaders, pastors, valued community health workers
and interested professionals.
What We Do
The CAB is an essential partner in facilitating effective community engagement and
achieving 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 broad research mission. Through bi-monthly meetings
CAB members facilitate community-based research by providing guidance, feedback and
endorsement of planned projects. As well-informed advisors, CAB members routinely
provide their views and opinions regarding proposed community-based projects and often
influence decisions that impact the broader community.
The CAB is available to serve all 麻豆官网首页入口 faculty and staff. If you are
planning a community-based project, we encourage you to present your proposed plans
to the CAB for their input. Please contact Dr. Julie Zadinsky, CAB Director to schedule a presentation to the CAB or for any questions.
