RESOURCE SUBMISSION
The HCDExchange is diversifying the Advisory Committee and opening up to new membership.
The HCDExchange first formed an Advisory Committee in July 2020 to provide the Secretariat with expertise, leadership support, and strategic direction. Primarily comprised of dynamic, passionate and experienced leaders in the HCD+ASRH community, the Advisory committee performs the following duties:
- Lend their voices and influence as HCD+ASRH champions
- Advocate for the adoption of good practices and for the generation of evidence
- Broker partnerships and create opportunities to secure political and financial capital for the HCDExchange and community of practice
The committee served for an initial period of six months. We are now seeking to expand membership for 2021. Members serve on a voluntary and uncompensated basis. We expect to have 7-9 members this year.
To join the team, below are brief requirements. You will need to:

We recognize that we are on an ambitious journey with two extensive goals: building a vibrant community and curating and generating learning on HCD+ASRH.

Advisory committee members serve in a voluntary, non-compensated capacity.
