How are Council members selected?

Each year, HealthWatch Wisconsin staff solicit nominations for HealthWatch Wisconsin Council members from diverse backgrounds across Wisconsin. The last opportunity to submit nominations is at the Annual HealthWatch Wisconsin Conference each spring. From the list of nominations, a ballot is created. Conference participants and other HealthWatch Wisconsin members cast ballots for individuals to join the Council. (HealthWatch members not attending the conference have an opportunity to complete an electronic ballot). Nominees receiving the most votes are invited to join the Council, based on available open chairs.

 

What is the role of the Council?

The Council provides leadership, perspective, advice, and ideas to HealthWatch Wisconsin as we work to transform the public health landscape and increase access to care and coverage for people in Wisconsin through training, education, and collaborative partnerships. The Council helps identify emerging topics and need for trainings, outreach, or education. Reports on Council meetings are shared with the HealthWatch Wisconsin Board of Directors.

The Council meets quarterly. While in person attendance is encouraged for 2 meetings each year, remote participation is allowed.
