FOR SKHHP ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
WHEREAS, the SKHHP Advisory Board operates as a consulting body, providing
unique and vital expertise that facilitates the success of the organization in working
towards its mission; and
WHEREAS, serving on an advisory board can demand a significant amount of time
and can involve travel, childcare expenses, time off work, and other associated expenses
which can create a burden on members and create a barrier to participation; and
WHEREAS, equitable policy discussion and decision-making includes individuals
directly impacted by the policy and decisions; and
WHEREAS, asking community members with lower financial means to volunteer
their time and expertise ultimately can hinder full and open participation; and
WHEREAS, research, including interviews with peer organizations across the
region, indicates that compensation for participation in advisory boards is a best practice
and key element of success; and
WHEREAS, the 2022 SKHHP Operating Budget includes a line item for SKHHP
Advisory Board compensation.

Section 1. SKHHP values the Advisory Board members’ expertise, experience,
