The Community Advisory Panel is comprised of community leaders providing advice and counsel to the League and its committees; and supporting the League and its activities in the community. In addition to keeping the League apprised of community trends, opinions and needs, the panel also strives to make sure the community stays informed about the League’s projects and other volunteer initiatives.
