Information Regarding the State Advisory Group
As with HIPPY advisory groups, the main
function is to provide advice, ongoing assistance, and support to
the local HIPPY programs. The advisory groups do no establish
local policy, rather it is the advisory group's ultimate challenge
to assist in sustaining existing HIPPY programs and to foster
growth within the state. Below is a representative list of the
responsibilities that State Advisory Groups may assume.
