Meet our Community Advisory Board!
The LGBTQ+ Health Initiative Community Advisory Board is composed of 15+ members of our LGBTQ+ community located in Rochester, NY. The purpose of the CAB is to provide the perspective of stakeholders within sexual and gender minority communities in the work that the LGBTQ+ Health Initiative is doing.
The CAB meets about 6 times per year, and tasks include reviewing drafts of materials and providing suggestions to make sure materials and plans are inclusive and sensitive to racial, ethnic, and cultural aspects, discussing the overall direction and goals for the grant, and successes and areas for improvement, etc.
Olivia Hillary is the Chair of the Community Advisory Board.Olivia Hillery is the CAB chair, joining at the CAB’s start in November of 2019. She identifies as a gay cisgender black woman. She has dedicated most of her time to supporting and educating individuals on a range of health related topics. The CAB was a natural step in her journey to a more inclusive and supportive community.
