Regional Advisory Committee

“The AHC is an example of how to go about this regional process in the right way. They have built solid relationships on trust and focused on mutual regional objectives... Most of the things we have got to do are based on those two factors. Their process of multi-state efforts including regional workshops, requirements white papers and conference calls create a collaboration and coordination opportunity that is done at the grass roots level is absolutely critical to the overall effort of out nation’s preparedness.”

Regional Government Strategic Advisors: The AHC was built on input from key government advisors from around the region. These advisors have varying roles, represent almost every agency within state/local government, and provide thought leadership to the AHC Board and member states on important issues on an “as needed” basis.
