New Regional Advisory Committee Members Elected

Posted on October 31, 2014

New sets of Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) members from Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao were elected in the recent FPE General Assembly and will be serving until June 2016.

The RAC is a 15-member committee that ensures regional representation in the FPE governance system. They give advice on policies, program development and governance to the FPE Board. They also provide a crucial link between the Board and the regions from where they come from by apprising issues, concerns and affirmative actions of the CSOs.
