Governance

Setting Equal Tables

to Drive Decisions and Priorities

HealthierHere is governed by a cross-sector Governing Board that stewards the organization’s overall mission, strategic plan, and progress, with support from committees and workgroups. With the goal of setting equal tables for our decision-making and priorities, over half of our Governing Board seats are designated for community-based organizations, Tribes, community members and consumers.

HealthierHere values transparency.

Our Governing Board meeting materials are available to the public. We also host board meetings designed for community interactions twice a year.

Indigenous Nations Committee

The Indigenous Nations Committee (INC) proactively engages Native-serving organizations, traditional healers, American Indian/Alaska Native/Indigenous (AI/AN/I) storytellers, Elders, cultural experts, professionals, and beneficiaries of services to guide decision-making, priorities, and strategies to improve the health of AI/AN/I community members in King County.
