Advisory Council
In October 2022, Social Mission Alliance assembled the Advocacy Advisory Council. Led by Robert Rock and Raashmi Krishnasamy, the council was charged with establishing a plan to leverage Social Mission Alliance’s health workforce research expertise and network for advocacy efforts around social mission that will reach a wider audience.
In 2023, the Advisory Council hosted a virtual summit to convene leaders in pursuit of health equity, where they officially released the advocacy priorities.
In 2024-2026, the Advisory Council expanded its membership and is advising our latest advocacy initiative, the For Us All campaign.
