Member Involvement
We want you to get involved!
The Member Advisory Council
Our Member Advisory Council give members a voice in our projects. Family members and caregivers can also be a part of the council. Council members come from different communities and areas. The useful insight they give helps us serve our members better. This gives us new ways to think about how we:
- Provide member education
- Outreach to members
- Address the needs of members
- Work through service challenges
- Work with community partners
We make sure that programs and services we offer are member-reviewed and member-driven.
How Do I Become a Member of the Member Advisory Council?
First, you must be a member. You can also be a member’s family member or a caregiver. Second, do you have these traits? We’re looking for people who:
-
- Can see the ‘big picture’
- Have interest in health care
- Can work on a team
- Use email and phone. We can help you with this
- Can go to monthly meetings

How Long Has Colorado Access Had a Member Advisory Council?
We have always asked for feedback from our members. This is important to us. We have done this through our Partnership meeting. We have been having these meetings for years.
Our new Member Advisory Council started in August 2017. We strongly believe that when we include members when we develop our projects and programs, we improve the services we offer.
Who Can Go to the Member Advisory Council Meeting?
The meeting is held monthly but only members of the Member Advisory Council and our Program Improvement Advisory Committee (PIAC) are allowed to go to the actual meeting. This is due to the private business information we talk about.
How Else Can I Get Involved?
There are many ways to get involved. You can:
- Go to a Partnership meeting.
- Join the Colorado Access Performance Improvement Advisory Committee (PIAC) for your region.
- Check out our calendar of events. Meet us in the community!
- Join a Colorado Health Care Policy & Financing Member Experience Advisory Council. Learn more here.
