Seattle's Swedish Medical Center, Cherry Hill Campus, is on the lookout for community-minded volunteers, specifically seeking individuals to join their Implementation Advisory Committee (IAC). This group serves a critical role, offering guidance and feedback to both the medical center and the city on the impacts of campus developments on the local neighborhoods. As reported by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, they're particularly interested in those with backgrounds in consensus building, community organizing, land use and zoning, or other related fields.
The IAC convenes monthly, generally in the evenings, and adopts a hybrid meeting style to accommodate members wishing to participate virtually or in-person at the Cherry Hill Campus; though there may be times when the frequency of these gatherings increases based on project needs. According to an announcement on the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' website, the committee will play a vital role in mediating between the institution's developmental aspirations and the community's well-being.
Those interested in joining the committee should note that its structure includes six to twelve members, with representatives coming from different walks of life, including a non-management member from the medical institution itself. In this position, community volunteers will serve two-year terms, which are renewable, thereby providing a sustained voice in guiding the expansion and development of the Swedish Medical Center, Cherry Hill Campus.
