Lay Advisory Committee
The IHE Lay Advisory Committee was established as a mechanism for public engagement, and is now open as a service, free of charge, for organizations interested in obtaining the public’s perspective on important organizational initiatives. If there is an initiative that is already underway or in the early stages of development, and you would like a public perspective, consider the upcoming LAC meeting as an avenue.
Those who would like more information are kindly requested to contact us at info@ihe.ca, or visit the IHE Lay Advisory Committee web page. Please note that the IHE reserves the right to triage requests.
