Governance

The PRCHN is led by two co-directors (Drs. Elaine A. Borawski and Susan A. Flocke) and an associate director (Dr. Erika S. Trapl).

The PRCHN is governed by two bodies.  One is the Executive Advisory Committee (see below).  The other is the Network of Community Advisors (NOCA).  NOCA's role is to provide guidance and leadership to carry out the goals and objectives of the Center, to provide annual feedback on the progress of the Center, and to bring current issues in area neighborhoods to the attention of the Center.  Please see the dedicated NOCA page for more information.

Co-Director of the PRCHN Dr. Elaine Borawski introduces NOCA Co-Chairs Tim Tramble and Jennifer Scofield at NOCA's first meeting on March 12, 2010
