State Advisory Committee Representatives

Meet The Representatives!

We are thrilled to announce the formation of the State Advisory Committee (SAC), an exciting new initiative designed to elevate the work of Inform USA member organizations across the United States.

In addition to providing support, guidance, and feedback to the Inform USA Board of Directors on critical issues, the SAC will play an integral role in the Inform USA Grant Program, which launches in June. 

These are the SAC Representatives by state:

Are you interested in representing your state at the national level?

We will be holding an information session at the Sun, Surf & Sessions conference in May and will reopen nominations on May 14, 2025.

Criteria for Nominations:

• Nominees must be Platinum Members (through their employer) of good standing for at least one year before nomination.

• Nominees must be permanent residents of the state wish to represent.

• SAC members should represent agencies interested in state—or federal-level advocacy for Information and Referral (I&R).

• Each state may have up to three representatives, provided each works in a distinct field within I&R (e.g., Military, 211, Aging, Disability, etc.).

• States previously represented by affiliates may have their affiliate chairperson fill one of the available seats. However, they will still need to submit a nomination.

Commitments

• Members must commit to attending quarterly virtual meetings.

• SAC members serve a maximum of two consecutive two-year terms, with members appointed from former affiliate leaders initially serving one-year terms to allow for staggered membership.

• SAC members will review Inform USA grant and scholarship applications and determine awardees through electronic voting.

• SAC members will regularly provide updates on behalf of their state via electronic submissions and virtual meetings, focusing on sector-level priorities.
