Policy Advisory Group (PAG)

CABWHP's Policy Advisory Group ("PAG") convenes women's health leaders including grassroots leaders, health service providers, government representatives and policy advocates throughout California to strategize about how to most effectively impact Black women's health policy at the local, regional and state level. 

​CABWHP hosts small regional convenings throughout the state in order to regularly communicate with PAG members about national, statewide and local policy issues and events. Such convenings enable us to strategically analyze issues affecting the health of Black women over time, analyzing gaps and clarifying needed areas of emphasis for future policy work.
