CICan Advisory Committees
As a membership organization, CICan believes strongly in involving member institutions in decision-making and ensures they are consulted and have opportunities to provide feedback when needed. The organization benefits greatly from their expertise and seeks their input on a variety of topics.
In addition to our Board, CICan hosts several advisory committees on which members are invited to sit. This allows us to engage with individuals working at different levels within their institution who can provide valuable insights.
Here are CICan’s current advisory committees:
