Community Advisory Committee Application Form
Disclaimers
This form is intended to help us recruit members for our Community Advisory Committee.
What is the Community Advisory Committee?
The community advisory committee is a group of trans, non-binary, and gender diverse people who advise and support the development of multiple aspects of Foria's services. Committee members provide feedback on subjects such as patient communication, program development, branding, etc.
The objective of this committee is to ensure that community members have an active role in creating our service. First and foremost, this clinic is a collaboration between our clinicians and our patients to build a service that works for you.
At this point, our committee is only accepting those who are 16+ years old.
Committee Responsibilities
The committee will meet approximately once per month for a one-hour group meeting. This meeting will be facilitated so that multiple updates are provided to the group and feedback is gathered through group discussion.
Video will not be required of participants - choose the option you’re most comfortable with. Chat participation can also be an option for folks who are not comfortable speaking up in a group setting.
Committee members can also choose to participate in survey feedback and article revision if they are interested.
If you would like to partake in group setting discussions but not in the survey and article reviews (and vice versa), that is an option as well.
Compensation
Foria understands that participants are sharing valuable lived experiences and community expertise. As such, compensation will be provided to participants on a monthly basis through a virtual MasterCard giftcard.
Compensation will be of $50/hour. Attending a 1-hour meeting will correspond to a $50 payment. Filling out our survey should take around 30min, and has a payment of $25. Payment for attending the meeting and filling out the survey (1.5 hours) will be $75.
Review of articles and written content may be something we ask of committee members at some point (only to those who would be interested). The payment offered for the review of written content will be $30/article.
Confidentiality
During your participation in the Community Advisory Committee, committee members’ identities will be protected and not associated with your opinions and feedback, unless explicit consent is given by members.
The moderator of the group discussions and surveys will not disclose personal information about the identity of participants throughout the project.
