Meet our Advisory Committee.
QHO’s Advisory Committee meets several times a year to advise the General Co-Directors on topics pertinent to QHO’s operation and role. The purpose of the Committee is to provide non-binding but informative guidance that is used to improve the organization in terms of sustainability, initiative, and administrative structures.
