Community input is vital to our success.
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) members contribute to planning, program development, and service delivery. Members also provide invaluable advocacy and advice from the local community perspective. The Community Advisory Board (CAB) includes persons living with SCI, representatives from the private sector, community-based organizations (CBOs), SCI service organizations, educational institutions, and others working or volunteering in the SCI/D field. All CAB meetings are held once a year.
