Who and How?

Understanding the need for and knowing some best practices for an IAB are only first steps to implementation. Who do you chose to be on your program’s IAB? How do you form an IAB? How do you set expectations for what the IAB and its members will do (the best practices give you some guidance)? These topics will be addressed by the speaker with table work sessions allowing participants to consider implementation difficulties and opportunities

11:30 – 12:00 pm

Q&A

Participants engage in question and answer dialog related to IAB formation and expectations

IAB Input and Meetings

Once the IAB is formed, the program must engage the IAB in providing input and support to the program. Best practices in seeking such input and managing meetings in productive ways will be address and discussed by table teams
