The Grantee Council was formed in 2006 as a forum for gaining insight into and feedback on how to provide technical assistance (TA) to best meet grantee needs. The Grantee Council is made up of 15 former and current SS/HS project directors who represent diverse demographic, cultural and programmatic characteristics.
The goals of the Grantee Council are 1) to provide direction to the National Center staff and the Communications Team as they develop strategic plans and develop and deliver TA services (including individual consultation, online and face-to-face events and trainings, and grantee products), and 2) to encourage the full utilization of the National Center and the Communications Team services by current grantees.
