The CRP Advisory Board includes key leaders across sectors, including philanthropy, non-profits, the private sector, academia, and other critical stakeholders representing regions across California. Advisory Board members provide strategic guidance on CRP projects and programmatic activities, inform selection of future regions based on needs and opportunities, and identify opportunities for new cross-sectoral partnerships to support the CRP program. The Advisory Board meets quarterly and is a key partner informing ongoing development and implementation of CRP. CRP also has a State Liaison who coordinates participation by representatives of State agencies.
