Caucus Membership and Sector Explanation
As part of the CMAHC conference, four sector-based caucus groups are created:
- Public Health (Federal, State, Local)
- Designer/Builder
- Management/Staff/Consumer
- Supplier/Manufacturer/Consumer Protection Groups/Academia
Each caucus group has multiple scheduled opportunities throughout the conference to caucus amongst themselves and discuss the submitted Change Requests and corresponding Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommendations, proposed changes, and voting strategy. Each caucus group can then discuss their thoughts in the conference open session, submit member comment(s) to influence the voting process, or both.
