About the Advisory Board
Guiding our work. Shaping what's next.
The Collective Insight Advisory Board is a group of trusted partners and experienced voices who help us think about what’s next.
They bring perspectives from across disability advocacy, healthcare, long-term services and supports (LTSS), research, nonprofit leadership, and community engagement, along with lived experience that helps ground and strengthen our work.
Many members have long-standing relationships with Collective Insight through collaboration in self-direction, Medicaid, and engagement initiatives. Their role is to share insight on emerging opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and support our long-term direction in advancing meaningful, community-centered engagement.
