PBH Local Business Plan 2007 The Local Business Plan Steering Committee found that these groups were essential during the past three years in supporting this transition. The LBP Steering Committee determined that the system is now past this stage and recommended changes to the Community Advisory Councils as follows: 1. Include representation from the PBH Network Council 2. The Committees should become self governing, with Council members leading the agendas, and PBH providing support 3. Develop an Area Advisory Council, with representative from each of the counties. (this was planned in the 2003 LBP, but was not implemented). PBH Operational Committees Attached is a description of the PBH Operational Committees. The use of these forums, where PBH, consumers, family members; providers and the community come together to exchange ideas, address problems, and for collaborative planning has been a resounding success. For PBH, this has been a way for us to "keep our feet on the ground" and understand the Impact of our activities, For the members of these teams, it has been an opportunity to understand and assist with the requirements and challenges that PBH has faced in Its role as regional systems manager. These groups will continue to operate and it is expected that they will continue to grow in their collective ability to impact PBH operations and management in an extremely positive manner, Below is a depiction of the network of community collaborative forums sponsored by PBH.
