Community Coalition Board Leadership | Community Values | Research & Evaluation
Community Partnerships
MSM PRC is governed by a Community Coalition Board (CCB), which was established in
1999. It operates under bylaws that were created shortly after the PRC was established.
Subsequently, the board articulated its values and priorities. MSM PRC CCB serves
as a policy-making board for the PRC 鈥� not an 鈥渁dvisory board.鈥� The Board is comprised
of a representative from each of our community partners, categorized as: academic
institutions, agencies, and community neighborhoods. To the original MSM PRC partner
community 鈥� Neighborhood Planning Unit Y (NPU-Y), we have added three southeast Atlanta
partner communities contiguous to NPU-Y: NPUs V, X, and Z. Each of the appointees
represent their neighborhood organizations, and community neighborhoods represent
the majority Board membership.
The role of the CCB is to: (a) set policy and oversee the operations of the center; (b) identify priorities and approve projects; (c) provide information on Center activities to the organizations and agencies represented on the Board; and (d) develop a strategic plan by which the Center may achieve its long-term objectives.
MSM PRC is often recognized as a national leader for the implementation of effective
community based participatory research with the community. At the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention鈥檚 (CDC) 20th anniversary of the National PRC Program in 2005,
MSM PRC received the Award for Excellence in Community-Based Research for its Community
Coalition Board. In 2010, the Healthcare Georgia Foundation awarded MSM PRC the Joseph
D. Greene Community Service Award for continued extraordinary commitment to improving
the quality of health and healthcare of those we serve.
