ADAP has two advisory councils – one for its PADD program and one for its PAIMI program. Each council is made up of at least twelve members, the majority of whom are consumers or immediate family members of consumers. The councils provide vital guidance to ADAP regarding the direction and scope of our work. Council meetings are open to the public; we invite you to join us! Learn more about ADAP’s Advisory Councils, their work, and how you can get involved.
