Advisory Board
The SAFE IN COMMON Advisory Board is a guiding force for our community – acting as a resource as well as providing advice and feedback on community direction, policies and services to the Community Manager. The Advisory Board will actively encourage membership, provide editorial oversight and serve as a communications conduit to the SAFE IN COMMON community, and beyond. Our Advisory Board represents a cross-section of industries and organizations – from healthcare, life sciences and medical institutions to journalists, government officials and not-for-profit organizations.
