Call for Nominations: Wisconsin Partnership Program Oversight and Advisory Committee
The Wisconsin Partnership Program (WPP) at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) is seeking nominations to fill a community health advocate public member vacancy on the Oversight and Advisory Committee (OAC).
The OAC is one of two governance committees that support the Wisconsin Partnership Program’s mission to bring about lasting improvements in health and well-being and advance health equity in Wisconsin through investments in community partnerships, education and research. OAC directs and approves available funds for community-engaged public health initiatives and public health education and training. In close collaboration with WPP, OAC develops funding categories; directs, monitors and approves funds available; and assesses impact. It is a nine-member committee composed of four community health advocates, four SMPH representatives and one representative of the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.
WPP seeks to achieve a diverse membership on OAC guided by our diversity, equity and inclusion policy as diversity is a source of strength, creativity and innovation. Special consideration is given to ensuring that OAC collectively comprises a broad spectrum of expertise, experiences and perspectives.
Nominations are due February 5, 2025. View the OAC Call for Nominations to learn more about the terms, qualifications and nomination process. Please direct any questions to Tonya Mathison, WPP Administrative Director, at tonya.mathison@wisc.edu.
