Most health promotion programs form some type of advisory board or advisory group (also sometimes called a team, task force, planning committee, coalition, or ad hoc committee) to provide program support, guidance, and oversight throughout the program planning, implementation, and evaluation process. For example, during planning, advisory board members are involved with determining program priorities as part of the needs assessment, developing program goals and objectives, and selecting program interventions. During implementation, they might participate in the initial program offering, program participant recruitment, material development, advocacy, and grant writing. During evaluation they often review reports and give feedback on how best to disseminate and use the evaluation results and findings. Some advisory boards are formal, with bylaws, regular meeting schedules, member responsibilities, and budgets. Others are informal, perhaps without any meetings but acting instead as a loose network of individuals who will offer advice and information when called upon by program staff.
