COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our community partners consist of the organizations our LA CaTS Community Advisory Board (CAB) members represent. Our community partners abide by two principles: Action Orientation and Relationship Building between academics and community members. It is sustained by shared priorities; diversity in membership; substantive participation; transparency; mutual respect and recognition; orientation to action; and personal connections.
