About / Governance
Effective governance, built in phases.
We're standing up the AHIS Board first, and it does the work of governance until the full structure is in place. Every program follows the same standardized approach to measurement and oversight, so programs move fast without cutting corners.

Where we are
Three phases, one direction.
Each phase is time-boxed, so governance grows with the work, not ahead of it.
The Board does the work: it reviews protocols and results, sets priorities and hears sponsor input.
The Board, an Implementation Advisory Committee, Affinity Groups and a Sponsor Advisory Council, each working across AHIS.
Affinity Groups, and Implementation Advisory Committees where volume requires, break out by care area.
How decisions flow
From a gap to shared results.
The loop every campaign and Implementation Support Program follows. For now, the Board fills each role.
Who governs what

Members of each body will be listed here as seats are filled.
