Steering Committee Roles and Responsibilities

Governance of the CHNA is conducted through a Steering Committee, which reflects the views and needs of the General Membership. The Steering Committee is charged with setting the program of the CHNA. The Steering Committee is vested with:
  • administrative oversight of the CHNA
  • strategic planning for the CHNA
  • oversight of all CHNA activities and CHNA subcommittees
  • oversight of all CHNA grant processes and management
  • oversight of CHNA financial matters, including development and monitoring of the budget
  • establishment of all contractual arrangements for the CHNA 
  • the selection, evaluation and termination, if necessary, of the Fiscal Sponsor,
  • ensuring that the CHNA and the steering committee are comprised of recruited, engaged and responsive members from the CHNA service area that work across disciplines serving all cohorts (infants, children, adolescents, adults, elders). 
  • encouraging representation of at least one steering committee member at Inter-CHNA meetings (on a rotating basis)

The Steering Committee meets bi-monthly or as needed.

Anyone interested in becoming a Steering Committee member should be a CHNA 18 member for at least one year and attended at least 2 general meetings.
