3. Selects top data-driven or evidence-based priorities for action.
4. Incorporates existing objectives, or if needed (as new information or situations emerge), creates new objectives to address top priorities.
5. Reviews and approves implementation strategies and action plans from implementation work groups.
6. Appoints and oversees operational committees (policy/advocacy, nominating, membership, etc.) and implementation committees as needed.
7. Recommends annual advocacy agenda to general membership.
8. Serves as an advisory body to the State Division of Public Health.
