On October 27, 2016, HOP hosted a peer-to-peer webinar titled, “The Health Center Consumer Board Experience.” After providing a brief overview to the requirements and functions to health center governing boards, HOP facilitated a discussion with three invited panelists: two consumer board members who spoke about their motivation and participation in this role, as well as one health center executive director who reflected on years of experience recruiting and maintaining a governing board.
