Advisory Board Recommendation Process
The language was revised in response to expressed support from both Advisory Boards and the public for updating and modifying the Advisory Board Proposal Process. Additional language was included to integrate some of the requested changes. Due to the intricate details and nuances noted in the Governance Manual, sections pertaining to the Advisory Board Proposal Process, a detailed graphic outlining this procedure was included to aid in understanding the information (see below).
Here is a summary of the recommendation process updates:
- The proposal form will be made publicly available on the C2C website at least one month prior to the summer meeting, which will allow any member of the public (including Data and Tools Advisory Board members) to submit a proposal form.
- At least two weeks prior to the summer Advisory Board meeting, proposal forms will be due from members of the public. The Office intends to post the forms it receives from members of the public on the C2C website for Community Engagement Advisory Board members’ review. The Office may provide additional context or screen out spam or inappropriate submissions.
- At the summer Advisory Board meeting, members will be provided dedicated time to
publicly discuss the ideation of recommendations received from the public. - The proposal form must be submitted by Community Engagement Advisory Board members at least one month before the fall Advisory Board meeting and posted on the C2C website. Members may choose to submit their own proposal form, sponsor a proposal form that was received over the summer, or further refine concepts from a form that was submitted over summer.
Here is a tentative timeline of how the Recommendation Process will unfold in 2024:
- Wed April 3: Proposal Form goes live for the public
- The proposals will end up in a library so that members can recycle ideas, go to https://c2c.ca.gov/advisory-board-proposal-process/
- Fri June 21: All public forms should be submitted
- Mon June 24: All submitted proposals will be posted publicly.
- Wed July 10: Joint Advisory Board meeting
