The CHAT Advisory Board works with the directors to shape the future of the Center. Board members also evaluate all of CHAT's fellowship and grant applications.
The spirited discussions at its bi-annual meetings have forged most of CHAT's current slate of programs, making the Advisory Board the heart and soul of the Center.
