• Providing feedback and input to ACCESS annual program plans

• Reviewing proposed changes to initiatives from individual ACCESS Service Teams

• Providing feedback on ACCESS survey results, data, and reports

• Making recommendations to the EC to serve the evolving CI ecosystem over the life of the ACCESS program
