We consult regularly with our members, partners, and stakeholders to ensure that our products and activities reflect their knowledge and experience and meet their needs. To support product development, we form both standing and project-based advisory groups, whose members provide input into selection and development of products, review draft versions of products, and provide general advice on products and activities.
Our current standing advisory groups are:
