Reflections on NCC Experience

• Eileen Michaels, Margaret DiManno and Mark
  Baptiste as representatives
• "diverse skill set and backgrounds, year to year
  change in representatives, difference in
  compensation and level of commitment"
• SIP 13
• Lessons CAB members apply locally
• - PRC as resource for local organizations

  interaction across intervention community
  steering committees
• TA Projects have lost insider access to
  record-level data (both NYS and NYC DoH)
