CBDLI Advisory Board
The Community-based Doula Leadership Institute Advisory Board is made up of key experts in maternal and child health and providers of community-based doula services. The Board focuses on three areas:
- Public education to promote the use of the community-based doula model
- Advocacy to encourage public/private partnerships to advance fiscal sustainability of community-based doula programs
- Evaluation of outcomes from the network of community-based doula sites
The CBDLI Advisory Board meets three times each year, in-person or by conference call.
