Community Advisory Board: Emerita Members

The dedicated members of The Well Project's community advisory board (CAB) provide insights from diverse communities and guidance on improving our programs. Those who step out of that role after years as fully engaged members of the CAB often become emerita CAB members, remaining involved with the group in various ways after their "official" time on the CAB has ended.
