Home Visiting Advisory Committee launches member recruitment to add lived‑experience and geographic representation
Summary
HVAC members agreed to begin an active recruitment process to fill statutory seats and expand representation — including parent/caregiver lived experience, rural representation and workforce perspectives — and formed a small volunteer group to draft the selection process.
The Home Visiting Advisory Committee agreed to begin active recruitment to refresh its membership and to add under‑represented perspectives, including parent/caregiver lived experience and rural and workforce representation.
Neli (meeting staff) reviewed the committee roster and statutory composition and told members, "we have about 19 active members if everybody kind of shows up together, and we should be between 18 and 26." Members noted turnover and role changes since the roster was last reviewed and agreed a targeted recruitment effort would be preferable to a broad open call.
Committee members said the recruitment goal is twofold: to ensure HVAC reflects the statutory seats and to add perspectives that HVAC members identified as missing in July, including parents and caregivers with lived experience, rural program representation and workforce perspectives (home‑visitor recruitment/retention). Several members also suggested including people with expertise or lived experience in housing or economic supports because DOH’s needs assessment highlighted those topics.
The group agreed to form a small volunteer working group to draft a recruitment process, outreach language and timeline. A staff member said the working group would aim to meet a few times between the current meeting and the next HVAC convening to return a proposed process and timeline for committee review. Committee staff also said they would clean the roster and circulate a refreshed list of active and inactive members.
Ending: Members asked for the recruitment plan to be transparent and to include personal outreach to prospective members. HVAC staff said they would follow up with volunteers and bring a draft recruitment timeline and outreach materials back to the full committee for review.
