Meet Our Advisory Council

Think of our Advisory Council as the compass for the Regional Response Team — they guide our direction while ensuring we stay true to what matters most: providing vital support to organizations and communities struggling with systemic challenges. Their direction ensures our resources create maximum impact where they’re needed most.

Advisory Council members represent organizations and individuals from our five-county service area (St. Louis City/County, St. Charles, Madison, and St. Clair Counties) committed to racial equity, systems change, and community collaboration.
