About
Advisory Board
The affairs of the National HERC organization are governed by an Advisory Board. The primary responsibility of the Board is to ensure that the operations of the National HERC meet the objectives and interests of the regional HERCs. The Board is available to provide guidance on National HERC initiatives and respond to issues that need consensus.
The Advisory Board takes into consideration the views and interests expressed by all HERC regions and is chiefly responsible for guiding the ongoing strategic plan for the National HERC. The Advisory Board may also advise on all business and staffing matters.
